1
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
Make Garlic Aioli
In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, and salt to taste. Mix well until smooth.
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
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
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.
