Over the years the BLT, in my opinion, has gotten a boring and basic stereotype. So how can you make it more indulgent? Well, here we go... Let's double the amount of bacon and candy it in the oven. That just makes the bacon taste that much better! Add a little avocado in the middle of the layers of bacon. It adds a nice creamy factor. We also stepped up the bread as well and got fresh sour dough from Holeman and Finch bakery.
Out of the grocery bag:
- Peppered bacon 12 slices (about 3/4lb)
- Brown sugar
- 2 medium tomatoes, sliced to desired thickness
- 2 avocados
- lettuce (we used red tipped lettuce)
- Mayo
- Sour dough bread
Set your oven to 475. Place a cooling rack or grilling rack on a cookie sheet. Lay out the strips of bacon and top with brown sugar (don't worry about over coating them, the extra sugar will melt down and drip off.) Bake until crispy, about 25 min.
The Assembly:
Toast the bread in butter in a saute' pan on one side. This makes it so rich and sumptuous. Put alittle mayo on the base, then add the bacon, avocado, then bacon again. Salt and pepper the tomatoes then load them on followed by the lettuce and the top layer of bread. Voila! the most amazing BBLTA!
Enjoy!
