Steps:
- Mash the avocados in a medium bowl until chunky-smooth. Stir in the scallions, lemon juice, red pepper flakes, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper; set aside.
- Cook the bacon in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 4 minutes per side; transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Remove and reserve all but 1 tablespoon of the drippings. Add the butter to the skillet, and swirl to melt and combine with the drippings. Dip both sides of each bread slice in the fat to coat, then cook until browned and crisp, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer the toasts to a cutting board. Raise the heat to medium-high. Add 1 tablespoon of the reserved drippings to the skillet, crack the eggs in a single layer, cover and fry until the whites are crisp at the edges but the yellows are runny, about 2 minutes.
- Meanwhile, spread each toast with 1/4 of the mashed avocado, and transfer to a serving plate with a spatula. Top each toast with 1/2 cup of the greens, 1 tomato slice sprinkled with salt and pepper, 2 slices bacon and a fried egg, and serve with a fork and knife.
BLT SALAD WITH AVOCADO
Steps:
- In a medium bowl, combine the diced tomatoes with the mayonnaise, and season with a little salt and fresh cracked pepper. Set aside for about 10 minutes to let the tomatoes release their juices as this will be the "dressing" to your salad.
- To serve, divide the chopped lettuce and tomatoes onto 4 plates, then top each with diced avocado, chopped bacon and tomato mixture.

LOADED AVOCADO BLT
My husband invented this twist on a bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwich. I like to make it with extra slices of bacon; if you want, you can leave the Gorgonzola cheese out of the avocado spread. -Lori Grant, Kingsport, Tennessee

Steps:
- In small bowl, combine all dressing ingredients; beat at low speed until smooth.
- Cover and refrigerate for several hours to blend flavors.
- Combine salad ingredients in large bowl.
- Serve with dressing.
Tips:
- Use ripe avocados. Ripe avocados are creamier and have a more flavorful taste. To check if an avocado is ripe, gently press on the skin. It should yield to slight pressure but not feel mushy.
- Choose thick-cut bacon. Thick-cut bacon will add a satisfying crunch to your BLT slaw.
- Use a sharp knife to slice the avocado and bacon. This will help prevent them from tearing.
- Toss the slaw in a light dressing. A light dressing will help coat the slaw without weighing it down.
- Serve the slaw immediately. SLaw is best eaten fresh.
Conclusion:
Avocado BLT slaw is a delicious and refreshing side dish that is perfect for summer gatherings. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a healthy and flavorful side dish, give avocado BLT slaw a try!
