Guacamole Blt Recipes

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, mash together the avocados, lime juice, and salt. Mix in onion, cilantro, tomatoes, and garlic. Stir in cayenne pepper. Refrigerate 1 hour for best flavor, or serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place bacon in a single layer in two 11-by-17-inch rimmed baking sheets. Cook in the oven until browned and crisp, turning over halfway through cooking time, 15 to 20 minutes. You may need to drain off some of the fat about halfway through cooking time. Transfer bacon to a paper-towel-lined pan to drain; discard fat.
• Place avocadoes in a bowl with lime juice, and mash with a fork until chunky but spreadable.
• Using a large serrated knife, split focaccia horizontally. Spread bottom with avocado mixture; layer with bacon, oven-dried tomatoes, and lettuce. Spread remaining focaccia with mayonnaise, if desired, and top sandwich. Cut into 12 squares, and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
• Place a baking rack on a sheet pan and lay the bacon on the rack. Roast for 15 to 20 minutes, until browned. Remove to a plate lined with paper towels.
• Meanwhile, prepare the guacamole. Place the avocados, lime juice, scallions, red onion, jalapeno pepper, garlic, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a mixing bowl and mash roughly together with a fork. Taste for seasoning; it should be very highly seasoned. Set aside.
• When the bacon is done, heat a dry cast-iron skillet over high heat for 5 minutes. Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels, brush them all over -- top and bottom -- with olive oil, and sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Place the fillets in the skillet skin side up and allow them to cook without disturbing them for 2 minutes exactly. With a metal spatula, carefully turn the fillets and cook for 2 more minutes. Transfer the skillet to the oven for 2 minutes (time it carefully!). Remove the salmon to a plate and cover it tightly with aluminum foil. Allow it to rest for 10 minutes.
• While the salmon rests, cut the ciabatta rolls in half crosswise, place them cut side up on a sheet pan, and toast in the oven for 5 to 10 minutes, until lightly toasted.
• To assemble the sandwiches, place the bottoms of the ciabatta rolls on a board and spread each with 2 rounded tablespoons of guacamole. Remove the skin from the salmon fillets, cut each fillet in half crosswise, and place both halves on top of the guacamole. Add 2 slices of bacon, a handful of arugula, and a sprinkling of salt. Spread another rounded tablespoon of guacamole on the underside of the top bread and place on top. Continue arranging all the sandwiches. Cut each sandwich in half diagonally and serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• For the guacamole, peel the avocado and place the flesh in a bowl.
• Lightly mash with fork.
• Add remaining ingredients to taste and mix well. *Use food processor if you want a smoother guacamole.
• Cover and set aside.
• For the BLT, place a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a small amount of oil to the skillet.
• Add the bacon and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until crispy, then drain on paper towels.
• Spread each halve of the rolls with guacamole, followed by 2 slices of bacon, tomato slices and finish with a handful of arugula leaves and top of roll.
• Serve while bacon is still warm.

Steps:

• Place the bacon in a large, deep skillet, and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on a paper towel-lined plate.
• Spread the guacamole on 4 slices of toasted bread and the cream cheese on the remaining 4 slices. Arrange a lettuce leaf, tomato slice, and two pieces of bacon on top of 4 slices of bread and top with the remaining slices.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F.
• Bake bacon on rimmed baking sheet 20 to 25 min. or until crisp.
• Meanwhile, mash avocados and garlic in medium bowl until smooth. Stir in onions, 1/3 cup lemon juice, jalapeño peppers and garlic. Spoon into large serving bowl.
• Whisk remaining lemon juice, olive oil and black pepper in large bowl until blended. Add arugula and tomatoes; toss to coat. Spoon over guacamole. Drain and crumble bacon; sprinkle over dip.
