Avocado BLT Recipe

This avocado BLT recipe creates a wonderful lunch sandwich. Everyone loves BLTs… but when you add avocado slices & grill the sandwich bread in butter, it is heavenly!!! Of course, BLTs are even better when they are made with homemade bacon bread. Double bacon deliciousness!

Our BLT is made with bacon, lettuce, tomato, avocado and bacon bit bread. This is an easy sandwich to make. The “hardest” parts of this sandwich recipe are frying up the bacon, grilling the bread in butter and slicing the avocado. If you have a problem slicing avocado, please watch the instructional video below.

BLT Sandwich Recipe Questions

What is a BLT?

A BLT is a popular sandwich made of Bacon, Lettuce and Tomato. The bread slices used in a BLT are usually toasted or grilled. BLTs are also often made with mayonnaise as the sandwich spread. However, BLT recipes vary greatly based on a person’s preferences. For example, BLTs might include additional ingredients (i.e. avocado), use different types of bread (i.e. oatmeal bread or bacon bread), etc. Some BLTs are even made without bacon or use a bacon substitute (i.e. hard tofu) if a person does not eat meat.

What are the benefits of eating avocado?

The first benefit of eating avocado is great taste! Another avocado benefit is that it is rich in potassium, vitamin B, vitamin C, vitamin E, vitamin K and folate. It also has fiber and monounsaturated fatty acids.

For more avocado information, you might like to read these Healthline and Wikipedia articles.

I want to thank EVERYONE who leaves a comment in our recipe comment sections!! Beginners learn a lot from your tips & recipe variations. Below are some of our recent noteworthy visitor comments.

  • THarris posted some delicious ingredient additions to my Eggless Banana Bread Recipe – “Amazing,delish! Added orange rind, vanilla extract, cinnamon – all one tsp each. Used oil instead of butter.“
  • Jessica made some amazing chocolate chip bagels out of our Bread Machine Bagels recipe and kindly posted some very useful tips – “I experimented with the chocolate chips. So what I did was let the dough cool for a bit after the dough cycle, but before it started rising again was sectioned it into 8 pieces. I gently kneaded in a handful of chocolate chips into the individual pieces. I shaped my pieces into bagels. I was sure to fold in the chocolate chips so none of them were or exposed on the surface of the dough. I then boiled and baked each bagel. They came out perfect. Chocolate chips held up just fine. The bagels tasted great. I ate one immediately after they had baked, and then contemplated eating the whole batch. They were the perfect chewy consistency I was hoping for in a bagel.“
  • Dutch posted a wonderful oatmeal variation of my No Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies – “I reviewed these amazing cookies a few weeks ago, easily giving them five stars, and mentioned that I planned on trying them again with oatmeal. Today is my grandson’s birthday and when asked what he’d like me to make for him, without hesitation, he asked for Bread Dad’s cookies. Just finished making them… adding two cups of regular oats with the chocolate chips, and cutting them into the batter with a spatula. The results were perfect. The cookies had a bit more heft to them AND I got a few more… about 48. Again… I was religious about chilling the dough. Thanks again for the recipe!“
  • PattiAnn posted some great tips on how to make my Bread Machine Italian Bread Recipe in her Breville countertop oven. Please visit the comments section on the recipe page for more of her comment. – “I always use the proof funtion in winter as well as summer. This gives you a constant temp when proofing. Also, most of the time I will lay a piece of foil lightly over the loaf halfway through the baking process. This prevents over browning of the loaf. This happens because your loaf is in a more confined oven and closer to the heating elements.. I also bake in CI, Romatopf, bread bowls, all works. As long as it fits you can use it to bake in. I used an Italian bread pan to bake the Italian loaves.“
  • SamanthaH posted some great “end products” that use my Bread Machine French Bread. I am going to try out her pizza bread idea tonight! – “This bread has been a staple in our home for a couple years now! I make it and freeze so it’s available when needed. Makes amazing garlic bread, bruschetta, pizza bread, or on its own with butter. So impressed with the recipe and the minimal ingredients is a huge plus!!!“
