Preparation

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy. Remove from skillet, drain on paper towels, and chop into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 2

    Make Garlic Aioli

    In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, and salt to taste. Mix well until smooth.

  3. 3

    Prepare Avocado

    Halve the avocados, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash slightly with a fork and season with salt and pepper.

  4. 4

    Toast the Breadcrumbs

    In the same skillet used for bacon, add the herbed breadcrumbs and toast over low heat until golden brown, stirring frequently.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Dish

    Slice the heirloom tomatoes into thick rounds. On a serving platter, layer the tomatoes, spread a layer of garlic aioli, add a spoonful of mashed avocado, and sprinkle with crispy bacon and toasted breadcrumbs.
