Bacon and Avocado Sandwiches...
Today my husband and I went for an early morning country side walk. The sun was shining brightly, birds were singing, we even saw a large hare bounding up the path. It was the perfect start to the day. All the walking and fresh country air got our appetites going. By the time we got back we were more then ready for lunch. As a treat we had bacon and avocado sandwiches. This is a dream combination and goes wonderfully well with a big mug of tea.
Luna Raye’s Bacon and Avocado Sandwiches (for two)
Ingredients
4 slices of really good quality smoked streaky bacon (we buy ours from our local butcher)
1 ripe Hass Avocado
Mayonnaise
4 slices of thick whole wheat bread
A pinch of salt
Generous amount of freshly ground black pepper
Directions
Cook the bacon in a frying pan until just crispy (but not burnt)
While the bacon is cooking spread some mayonnaise on 2 slices of bread that will serve as the bottom half of each sandwich
Cut the avocado in half and remove the stone
Scoop out the flesh of the avocado and layer it over the mayonnaise on each slice of bread
Add a pinch of salt to the avocado
Once the bacon is cooked layer it on top of the avocado (I don’t drain the bacon on paper towel but you can do so if you wish)
Add a generous amount of black pepper before placing the other slice of bread on top
Cut in half and serve with a big mug of tea
Enjoy!
