Seriously though…is there anything better than a BLAT sandwich? You know, bacon lettuce, avocado and tomato? I don’t think so either. How about a BLAT sandwich with black pepper aoli? Oh yeah, something really good just got even better!

Making the black pepper aoli

I started the sandwiches with the black pepper aoli. It is simple to throw together, and so tasty! So, start with mayo or Greek yogurt. I usually use Greek yogurt, but this time, for the hubs, we went full fat. I’m not going to lie though, I was loving it too.

Next up is the fresh squeezed lemon juice.

Last is black pepper, and lots of it. Mix it all together and it is ready to go.

Bacon recommendation

Next, let’s get the bacon party started. We love a thick cut black pepper bacon. I picked up this Daily’s bacon at our local Walmart and it was so good! I cut it in half for cooking, this was the perfect size for our bread.

Prepping the veggies

While the bacon is cooking, prep the veggies. Red onions are a must for us.

Then a big fat juicy heirloom tomato. I like it thick sliced for BLAT sandwiches.

Next up was the avocado. Cut in half.

Cut each half into slices.

Assembling the BLAT sandwiches

Toast your Texas toast. Layer with the sliced avocados.

Next up is that thicc boi bacon! I loaded this sandwich up with 4 slices, and it was perfect.

Now is the perfect time to add the sliced tomatoes.

I ALWAYS salt my tomatoes, but that is a personal preference.

Red onions a generous topping of the black pepper aoli. Last up the lettuce of choice.

The final product

Can you just imagine how tasty this sandwich is?? No? Make one for yourself!!

I promise, any amount of time it takes to put this together is well worth it!

Side note- we have also served these with regular mayo, which was delicious. Another favorite is chipotle mayo. Now that is tasty! There are plenty of options!
