Ingredients
- 6 slices thick-cut bacon
- 4 to 8 tender green lettuce leaves (washed and spun dry)
- 1 ripe heirloom tomato (cut into 1/2-inch thick slices (if tomatoes are not in season, use small on the vine tomatoes instead))
- 2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
- Kosher salt
- Ground black pepper
- 4 slices good quality (sturdy whole wheat bread (I like sourdough))
- 4 tablespoons nonfat plain Greek yogurt
- 1/2 ripe avocado (sliced)
Steps
-
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
-
For easy clean up, line a baking sheet with foil. Place a baking wire rack on top, coat the rack with non-stick spray, then arrange the bacon on the rack in a single layer. Bake for 15 to 25 minutes, until the bacon is crisp. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and pat dry.
-
Arrange the tomato slices in a single layer and drizzle with the vinegar. Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper.
-
Towards the end of the bacon’s cooking time, place the bread slices on a sheet pan (or directly on the oven rack) and toast in the oven for 5 minutes. Flip the slices over and toast for 1 additional minute, until the bread is evenly browned. Then place 2 slices of the toasted bread on a cutting board or plate. Spread each slice with 1 tablespoon of yogurt.
-
Place a layer of lettuce on top. Add the tomatoes on top of the lettuce, lightly shaking off excess juice.
-
Add 3 slices of bacon (tear the bacon in half as needed to help it fit).
-
Add the avocado, then sprinkle with an additional pinch of salt and pepper. Spread each of the remaining slices of toasted bread with 1 tablespoon of yogurt. Place, yogurt-side down, on top. Cut the BLT sandwiches in half and serve.
