Tips & Notes

Pro tips

Paper towel drainage is essential: after frying or grilling bacon, always rest the rashers on paper towels to absorb excess fat and maintain crispness.
Add lemon or lime juice to the mashed avocado immediately to prevent browning, especially if assembling the sandwich within a few minutes.
Toast the bread if eating immediately; it provides structural support against moisture from tomato slices and adds textural contrast to the creamy avocado.
Slice the tomato just before assembly to keep it fresh and prevent water from making the bread soggy.

Substitutions

Smoked bacon → unsmoked bacon (or vice versa for flavor preference)
Mayonnaise → Greek yogurt or hummus (lighter alternative with similar binding properties)
White bread → sourdough or wholemeal (for different texture and nutritional profile)

Storage & make-ahead

Assemble sandwiches fresh just before eating. Store cooked bacon in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days; reheat gently in a pan or microwave before using.
