Bacon, Avocado & Heirloom Tomato Sandwich

This is one of our favorite summer suppers.  I use heirloom tomatoes when I can find them… mine still have a good 30 days before they’ll be ready in my raised bed garden.  They are worth the extra money and hunt – the flavor and smooth texture is incomparable to a regular grocery store tomato. 

The B.A.T.

serves 4 1 pound of bacon 2 pounds of tomatoes* 2 avocados mayo italian or country white bread sea salt & pepper I cook bacon by baking it in the oven at 325 degrees for 15-20 minutes.  It works great if you cook them on a baking rack on a baking sheet, so the fat can drain.

Spread each slice with mayonnaise, then tomatoes + sea salt & pepper.  Next, add bacon then avocados. 

The best way to bake bacon!

Final product.  Creamy avocado, sweet juicy tomatoes, and crispy salty bacon.  As I said, the best summer supper. 

Emma’s not quite ready for bacon sandwiches yet, so I made her Tomato & Avocado Flowers.

“May-toes” as Emma calls them.  She was entertained for at least 30 seconds, I think.
