What's cooking? Wednesday - Smashed avocado BLT sandwich

Smashed Avocado BLT sandwich!

When I was a little girl, my mother would occasionally make me an avocado sandwich...a smashed avocado spread on bread.  That was my favorite sandwich!  Now, I've updated it to combine my beloved avocado sandwich with the classic BLT.  If you like avocados, you're going to love this!

Smashed Avocado BLT sandwich -
1/2 large avocado or 1 small one
2 T. bacon bits or 2 slices bacon, cooked well and crumbled
1/2 tomato, chopped fine
1 leaf romaine lettuce
bread of choice...today I used Oatnut bread

Remove the skin and pit from the avocado.
In bowl, smash the avocado (I use a potato masher but a fork works too).  Stir in the bacon bits and chopped tomato.

Either toast the bread or leave plain.   Put lettuce leaf on the bottom slice.  Top with the smashed avocado mixture and top with bread slice.  Eat immediately!  Heavenly!
