The Blast Recipe

Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Garlic Aioli

   In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, mayonnaise, salt, and black pepper. Stir well until smooth and set aside.

2. 2

   Cook the Bacon

   In a skillet over medium heat, cook the thick-cut bacon until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from pan and place on paper towels to drain excess grease.

3. 3

   Make the Avocado Smash

   In a bowl, mash the avocado with lemon juice, salt, and pepper until creamy but still chunky.

4. 4

   Toast the Bread

   Lightly brush the sourdough slices with olive oil and toast them in the same skillet until golden brown on both sides.

5. 5

   Assemble the Sandwich

   On one slice of toasted sourdough, spread a generous layer of garlic aioli, followed by lettuce, avocado smash, crispy bacon, and slices of tomato. Top with another slice of toasted sourdough.
