A good 'ol BLT Sandwich is one of my favorite things, ever. Add sun-dried tomato mayo, smashed avocado, fresh mozzarella... and WOWZA!
Serves: 4
Ingredients
FOR THE SUN-DRIED TOMATO MAYO:
  • 8 oz. Sun-Dried Tomatoes with oil
  • ½ cup Slivered Almonds
  • 2 Garlic Cloves
  • 1 cup Mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp. Crushed Red Pepper
  • 1 tsp. Italian Seasoning
  • Kosher Salt, to taste
FOR THE BLAT SANDWICH:
  • 12 Slices of Bacon
  • 8 Slices of Bread, Toasted with Mayo
  • 2 Large Ripe Tomatoes
  • 8 Green Lettuce Leaves
  • 2 Avocados, smashed
Instructions
  1. Pulse all ingredients for the Sundried Tomato Mayo in a food processor until smooth and combined. Set in a bowl and refrigerate until you're ready to assemble the sandwiches.
  2. Preheat oven to 400F. Place bacon on a parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 18 - 20 minutes, or until browned and crispy. Transfer to a stack of paper towels to cool.
  3. Slather one side of each slice of bread with a light smear of mayo. Toast, mayo-side-down, in a medium-high skillet until golden. Flip and toast the other side, if desired.
  4. Arrange 8 slices of bread, mayo-toasted side down on a cutting board. Smear the inner sides of all 8 slices with sun-dried tomato mayo. Then layer four slices with smashed avocado, lettuce, fresh mozzarella, cooked bacon, tomatoes, and then top each one with the other piece of toasted bread.
