Avocado Cream Cheese BLT

Avocado cream cheese is a sinfully delicious spread that goes perfectly well with the classic BLT. You may use light or low-fat cream cheese if you want to reduce the calories. It is also a good idea to weave the bacon together on a baking tray. Bake it until crisp. After, slice the bacon into squares the size of the sandwich. Use it the same way as you would use regular bacon strips for a sandwich.

 

Ingredients:

8 pieces whole wheat bread

300g light cream cheese, softened

1 small avocado, halved, stone removed

2 tablespoons lemon juice

2 tablespoons finely chopped chives

120g lettuce

1 large tomato, sliced into rings

400g bacon strips

 

Garlic salt and pepper to taste

Place a non-stick frying pan or skillet under medium heat. Fry the bacon in batches until they are crisp. Place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain the excess oil. Set aside.

Mash the avocadoes in a medium sized bowl until smooth. Add the cream cheese, lemon juice and chives. Mix well. Season the mixture with garlic salt and pepper.

Spread avocado and cream cheese mixture on 2 pieces of bread. Put a lettuce leaf and then a slice of tomato. Top it with desired amount of bacon. Place a piece of bread with avocado cream cheese on the bacon. You may slice it into half. Repeat the process for the remaining sandwiches. Serve immediately.
