The gourmet BLT with cheddar and avocado is the grown up sandwich of your dreams. Tons of contrasting colors, flavors, and textures make a relatively simple sandwich a true gourmet delight.
1perfectly ripe heirloom tomatoes at room temperaturesliced 1/4" thick
1avocadosliced in /4" slices
kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
Spread each piece of toasted bread with a thin layer of butter and then a generous layer of mayonnaise.
Place the white cheddar on the 2 slices of bread that will be the bottoms. Arrange them so they cover the bread as completely as possible.
Place the bacon on the cheese so you'll be sure to get bacon in every bite. The bacon I used was really huge--about 1 1/2 oz per slice, pre-cooked weight. If you're using grocery store bacon, you may need more slices. And you can also do the bacon weave before cooking to ensure bacon in every bite.
Arrange the leaf lettuce on top of the bacon followed by 3 slices of tomato.
Salt and pepper the tomato and then shingle on the avocado slices, 1/2 avocado per sandwich. Lightly salt and pepper the avocado and top with the top slice of bread. Press down lightly.
Enjoy!
Notes
If you like extra cheese, you can put cheese on all 4 slices of bread so you end up with cheese on the bottom and top of each sandwich. With the fat fron the mayo and avocado on top, I didn't think ours needed extra cheese, but it's your call.
