What Makes a Good Club Sandwich?

Well, this question inspired me to try out club sandwiches by adding and changing different of my favorite ingredients, and finally, I found my favorite flavor of club sandwich, without a doubt, the Avocado BLT Sandwich.

How to make Avocado BLT Sandwich?

Step 1:

First prepare the bacon: For 6 to 8 slices, use a large frying pan. Add the bacon to the cold pan, then heat over medium heat, cooking the bacon until crisp.

For more slices, use the oven. Line a baking sheet with foil, place a wire rack and place the bacon on top of the wire rack. Bake the bacon at 425F until crisp and golden.

Step 2:

Meanwhile, prepare hard boiled eggs. Bring a small pot of salted water to a boil, then add the eggs using a spoon. Cook the eggs for 10 minutes, then drain and place in a bowl of ice water to cool. Once cooled, peel and cut the eggs.

Step 3:

Next, prepare the spread: combine mashed avocados, Greek yogurt, garlic, lemon juice, cumin, salt and pepper in a bowl and mix well.

Step 4:

Prepare the vegetables: Wash and dry the romaine lettuce. Cut the tomato, avocado and red onion into thin pieces.

Step 5:

Prepare the Breads: Toast the bread using a toaster or oven broiler. Place the bread on a large baking sheet and place the broiler on high heat for a few minutes, until the bread is toasted and golden. Turn the bread and cook the other side also.

Step 6:

Assembling the Sandwich: To assemble the sandwiches, use a spreader and apply a generous amount of avocado mayo on each slice. You will need 3 slices of bread per sandwich; You can apply the spread on either side of the middle slice.

Place lettuce leaves on the first and second bread slices. Add chopped tomatoes, turkey ham, shredded cheese, and chopped onion, if desired. Add second slice of bread, top with lettuce. Add chopped hard-boiled eggs, bacon slices and chopped avocado. Place the last slice of bread on top, then use a sharp, serrated knife to divide the sandwich into halves or quarters. Enjoy immediately.

Pro Tips for Avocado BLT Sandwich

Avocados: To make the creamy and smooth texture of avocado spread, opt. for perfectly ripe avocados.

Bacon: To make bacon crispy, lay the bacon strips in a single layer, starting with the cold pan, it will allow the fat in the bacon to render slowly, resulting in a crispy texture.

Seasoning: Season each layer with a pinch of salt, and a sprinkle of black pepper. This process will enhance the flavors of the sandwich.

Spread Mayo Edge-to-Edge: When applying avocado spread, mind to spread it to the edges of the bread.
