Ingredients

For the Avocado Spread

  • 1 large ripe avocado cut into small chunks
  • ½ cup full-fat Greek yogurt
  • 1 large clove garlic finely minced
  • Tbsp fresh lime juice approximately ½ lime
  • tsp ground cumin
  • Sea salt and black pepper to taste.

For the BLT

  • 6 slices bacon
  • 4 slices sourdough bread
  • 2 Tbsp unsalted butter melted
  • 8 leaves lettuce
  • 2 medium tomatoes
  • Sea salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Place the avocado, Greek yogurt, and garlic in a medium bowl and combine thoroughly with a fork, leaving some small chunks of avocado in the mixture. Add the lime juice and cumin, and season with salt and black pepper, to taste. Stir to combine and cover tightly. Set aside.
  • Line a microwave-safe plate with paper towels and place the bacon strips on it. Cover the bacon with more paper towels and place in the microwave for 3-4 minutes on high, or until bacon is cooked through, but not too crispy. (Cook time will vary, so check after 2 minutes and adjust remaining time as needed).
  • Brush one side of each piece of bread with the melted butter. Heat grill pan over medium heat and place bread, buttered side down, on the pan. Apply light pressure to each slice with a spatula, being careful not to move the bread in the process. Once nice grill marks have formed, remove them from heat and set them aside.
  • Allow bread to cool slightly, then add avocado spread to 2 of the slices on the non-grilled side.

Notes

Tip: If possible, prepare the avocado spread in advance to give the flavors a chance to develop. Taste and adjust seasonings, as desired, before using.
