Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Avocado Aioli

    In a bowl, mash the avocado and mix in lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper to create a smooth aioli.

  2. 2

    Cook the Pancetta

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the pancetta slices until crispy. Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess fat.

    Toast the Bread

    Toast the sourdough bread slices until golden brown.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Spread a generous amount of avocado aioli on each slice of toasted sourdough. Layer with lettuce, slices of tomato, and crispy pancetta.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Cut the open-faced BLT in half if desired and serve immediately.
