Recipe type: Sandwiches
Serves: 2
Ingredients
  • 6 pieces bacon (turkey or regular)
  • 4 thickly sliced tomatoes
  • 4 sandwich sized pieces of lettuce
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 4 pieces sourdough bread
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 3 ounces Garlic Basil Cream Cheese Spread (3 ounces cream cheese, softened, 1 clove garlic, minced, ¼ teaspoon dried or ½ teaspoon chopped fresh basil, dash of pepper)
Directions
  1. Cook bacon according to package directions, and according to your own preference. Meanwhile, set aside vegetables for easy assembling.
  2. Slightly butter what would be the outside of the sandwich on each piece of bread. Broil with buttered side up until lightly browned. I like to throw mine butter side down on our George Foreman for the fun grill marks. Takes about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Prepare Garlic Basil Cream Cheese Spread by mixing all ingredients together.
  4. Spread cream cheese mixture on each piece of bread on the unbuttered side.
  5. Divide the remaining ingredients (bacon, lettuce, tomatoes and avocado slices) evenly on top of the spread on two pieces of the bread.
  6. Slap tops together and enjoy!
