Let’s face it! Is there a better sandwich out there than a BLT? OK, maybe there is, but for those of you who have never had a BLT, it stands for bacon, lettuce and tomato. 3 simple ingredients that when paired together in a sandwich make for an incredible marriage.
There could be many variations of the BLT, as I chose to do so here, I made an avocado BLT, but the main ingredients for a BLT sandwich are bacon, lettuce, tomato, mayonnaise and bread. Normally, iceberg lettuce is used because it has a lot of crunch, however my favorite type of lettuce is butter lettuce.
I also think this sandwich is somewhat healthy. I suppose it all depends on how much bacon you use, but the addition of avocado, definitely makes it healthier. Avocados are great for you, they have a lot of nutrients including fiber and potassium. All that aside, this is a sandwich full of flavor. I chose to use asiago bread which I lightly toasted, then spread a tablespoon of mayonnaise over it. It’s a simple sandwich to make, which would make for a great lunch.
Ingredients:
- 4 slices asiago bread, lightly toasted
- 1 large tomato, sliced
- 4 lettuce leaves
- 1/2 avocado, sliced
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise
- 6 slices of bacon, cooked
Instructions:
- Cook the bacon to your desired personal preference.
- Lightly toast the bread.
- Spread a tablespoon of mayonnaise on 2 slices of bread (a tbsp on each slice).
- On top of each bread slice with mayonnaise, add 2 lettuce leaves, followed by slices of tomatoes, followed by 3 slices of bacon, then by avocado slices and another slice of bread.
Enjoy!
What did you do with the other tbsp. of mayonnaise?

Hi Jane,
You spread a tbsp of mayo on each slice, so 2 slices of bread, 2 tbsp of mayo. I added that to the recipe instructions, hopefully it’s more clear now.
Thanks.
It is BLT or nothing for me…but you made my favorite sandwich even more to die for! Thanks for sharing.
