Cook bacon in the oven until perfectly crispy. Set aside.
In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, minced garlic, fresh lemon juice, salt, and pepper to make the aioli. Mix well and set aside.
Slice the heirloom tomato and avocado. Season the tomato slices with salt and pepper.
In a skillet over medium heat, melt butter and toast one side of each slice of bread until golden brown.
To assemble, generously spread the garlic aioli on the toasted side of both slices of bread.
On one slice of bread, layer the crispy bacon, butter lettuce, and seasoned heirloom tomato slices.
On the other slice of bread, arrange the sliced avocado.
Place the avocado-topped slice on top of the other half to close the sandwich. Slice in half and serve immediately.
Assemble just before eating for best texture. Leftover aioli keeps refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
Yes, prepare the aioli up to 2 days ahead and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Stir before using.
Bake bacon in a 400°F oven for 12–15 minutes until crispy and evenly cooked, which yields better texture than stovetop frying.
Yes, any ripe, firm tomato works, but heirloom varieties have superior flavor and fewer seeds; slice thick to avoid a soggy sandwich.
Toast the bread thoroughly, spread aioli on both slices, and slice the tomato just before assembly. Layer bacon and avocado to act as barriers.
Yes; the aioli and assembly scale easily. Use 1 bacon slice and 1/4 tomato per sandwich, and multiply the aioli base as needed.
