Avocado Cream Cheese BLT

May 30, 2011 By Delia

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.

Homemade BLTs = Love

A fresh BLT sandwich with lots of bacon, fresh...

On some days, it feels like the height of summer here. On those days, much as I love my usual comfort food of stews and roasts, all I want is a sandwich. A good, filling sandwich made with crispy fresh organic lettuce, juicy red tomato slices, and cool, creamy mayonnaise. A sandwich like this one: my homemade Bacon Lettuce & Tomato sandwich, otherwise known as the BLT.

Because however hot it gets, I always love bacon.

I’m fine with just this sandwich and a tall glass of water, but some people like adding sides to this delicious meal. My mom absolutely must have a small pile of barbecue Kettle chips, and my husband likes a crunchy kosher pickle to nibble on between bites.

Whichever way you want to have this sandwich, I urge you to have it. It’s perfection in a sandwich.

Homemade Bacon Lettuce & Tomato Sandwiches
Serves 2

4 slices good bread. Whole wheat is fine, but I prefer brioche (who doesn’t?)
6 slices thick bacon. Turkey is fine. Pepper bacon is awesome. So is regular smoked bacon. I could go on, you know.
Fresh lettuce, washed and spun-dried
Fresh red tomato, thickly sliced
Cheese slices. Optional. I LOVE provolone on this, but anything that you prefer. Or none at all.
Good mayonnaise. Hellmann’s/Best Foods has my heart.

Cook bacon over LOW heat. You want it crispy but not charred, with a little bit of chewiness in there. Set aside.
Lightly toast bread slices.
For each sandwich (this recipe makes two): Spread one piece of bread with mayonnaise. On the other slice of bread, make layers like so: Bacon, Tomato, Cheese, Lettuce. Top with mayonnaised slice of bread. Repeat for other sandwich.
