Ingredients
- 8 slices Thick-cut bacon
- 4 slices Sourdough bread
- 1 large Avocado
- 2 cups Arugula
- 1 large Tomato
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Cook the thick-cut bacon until crispy, about 8-10 minutes. Once cooked, transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease.
Step 2
While the bacon cooks, slice the tomato into thin rounds and set aside. Halve the avocado, remove the pit, and slice the flesh into thin slices.
Step 3
In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to make the zesty aioli. Set aside.
Step 4
Brush one side of each slice of sourdough bread lightly with olive oil. Toast the bread in a skillet or toaster until golden brown.
Step 5
To assemble the sandwiches, spread a generous layer of the zesty aioli on one side of each slice of toasted sourdough bread.
Step 6
Layer the bottom slice with arugula, tomato slices, avocado slices, and crispy bacon. Top with the second slice of bread, aioli side down.
Step 7
Slice the sandwich in half, serve immediately, and enjoy your elevated New BLT!
