Cheesy Avacado BLT

Hey guys! Welcome to my first food post. This is one of my favorite sandwiches I and it's so easy to make. 

I'm not a big fan of tomatoes because they tend to get soggy (especially in a dorm room) so when I was looking for replacement I found avocado. Avocados are soft enough on the inside that it requires very little effort to slice which makes it ideal if you're using plastic silverware. 

Because there's no tomato it would be hard to call it a BLT, right? Wrong, because I like my BLTs on toast! So there's your T!

Here's my recipe for a Cheesy Avocado BLT:

  • Bread (duh), toasted.
  • Fresh avocado, one half.
  • Mayo
  • Cheese, I like shredded taco or sharp cheddar but you can use your favorite.
  • Bacon, 2 slices.
  • Lettuce.
I usually start off with the bacon because it takes the longest. Cover a microwave safe plate with a paper towel and put your bacon on it. Then cover that with a second paper towel and microwave for about 2 minutes.





While that's going you'll want to toast your bread (if desired) and slice your avocado. Avocados are sliced longways guys! Otherwise it becomes a pain in your butt!




To make peeling your avocado half easier you can slide a knife around the edge to loosen it. The avocado is soft so it should be easy. Then peel. 




Pretty, isn't it? Now you can slice it into pieces. Some people like full slices but I'm partial to wedges. It also leaves a little extra to snack on. Taste away, my friends! 


Spread your mayo on your toasted bread. I like to spread on both sides and put my avocado on next. 




Then comes your cheese. Sprinkle on top of your avocado! Use whatever amount you desire, it's your masterpiece! There's no such thing as too much cheese!




Take out your bacon and break it into smaller pieces. Assemble the rest of your sandwich, first the bacon and then the lettuce. 




Put your sandwich together and eat! Who needs a boring sandwich when you can have this? Want to spice it up? Use chipotle mayo!




TASTY!

A New Beginning

Hey all!

This is my new blog. You may have seen me over at The Book Nut where I talk books. Well there's one thing I love almost as much and that's food. I make some really weird creations, some I learned in college and some were just experiments. Sometimes they're good and sometimes not but they're always fun. Here I'm going to show you my strange concoctions, they may look strange but most of the time they're pretty tasty.

This is The Tasty and The Weird.

Much Love,

Erin
