This gourmet BLT recipe with thick, crispy bacon, juicy tomatoes, and creamy avocado is simple and fresh. The best BLT you've ever eaten!
Share:
Ingredients
- 6 lices thick-cut bacon
- 4 to 8 tender green lettuce leaves washed and spun dry
- 1 ripe heirloom tomato cut into 1/2-inch thick slices (if tomatoes are not in season, use small on the vine tomatoes instead)
- 2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
- kosher salt
- ground black pepper
- 4 lices good quality sturdy whole wheat bread (I like sourdough)
- 4 tablespoons nonfat plain Greek yogurt
- ½ ripe avocado sliced
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- For easy clean up, line a baking sheet with foil. Place a baking wire rack on top, coat the rack with non-stick spray, then arrange the bacon on the rack in a single layer. Bake for 15 to 25 minutes, until the bacon is crisp. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and pat dry.
- Arrange the tomato slices in a single layer and drizzle with the vinegar. Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper.
- Towards the end of the bacon’s cooking time, place the bread slices on a sheet pan (or directly on the oven rack) and toast in the oven for 5 minutes. Flip the slices over and toast for 1 additional minute, until the bread is evenly browned. Then place 2 slices of the toasted bread on a cutting board or plate. Spread each slice with 1 tablespoon of yogurt.
- Place a layer of lettuce on top. Add the tomatoes on top of the lettuce, lightly shaking off excess juice.
- Add 3 slices of bacon (tear the bacon in half as needed to help it fit).
- Add the avocado, then sprinkle with an additional pinch of salt and pepper. Spread each of the remaining slices of toasted bread with 1 tablespoon of yogurt. Place, yogurt-side down, on top. Cut the BLT sandwiches in half and serve.
