B.L.T.A

         Most people have heard of a B.L.T, this is the common combination of bacon, tomato, and lettuce.  I personally like to add A to the sandwich, avocado.  I think it takes this simple, delicious sandwich to a whole new level:

         Because this sandwich is so simple, it's important to use good quality, fresh ingredients:
 B.L.T.A.
 Ingredients: (3 sandwiches)
      6 slices soft, whole grain bread
      3 leaves off a head of lettuce
      1 large tomato
      1 1/2 pounds of bacon
      1 avocado
      mayonnaise
 Instructions:
  1. Toast all six slices of bread to desired crispness
  2. Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium high heat 
  3. Once the skillet is warm, put one layer of bacon slices covering the bottom.  When each slice begins to curl up (about 4 minutes) turn it using a fork 
  4. Remove each slice of bacon when it reaches desired crispness and place on a plate lined with a paper towel to drain off extra grease:
  5. Slice the tomato into 1/4 inch slices and set aside:
  6. Cut the avocado in half and remove the pit.  Using a spoon, scoop out the inside and slice:
  7. To assemble the sandwich, place two pieces of bread on a plate and layer avocado on one and mayonnaise on the other:
  8. On top of that, place a few slices of bacon, a slice of tomato, and a lettuce leaf:
  9. Place the other piece of bread on top, and enjoy!
