WHAT IS A BLAT SANDWICH?
A Blat sandwich is essentially a BLT with the addition of avocado. The name itself is a combination of “BLT” and “avocado,” thus creating “Blat.” While this may seem like a small addition, it can completely transform the sandwich and take it to new heights.
THE BLAT SANDWICH BREAKDOWN
- TOASTED WHITE BREADS
- TURKEY BACON – Preferably low sodium. I like using Oscar Meyer and Butter Ball.
- LETTUCE – I used organic butter lettuce cause that’s what I had on hand.
- AVOCADO – Any avocado will do!
- TOMATOES – Juicy round roma tomatoes were used here.
- PLANT BASED CHEESE – American cheese slices
- VEGAN MAYONNAISE – Cause I like the flavor but use your favorite.
HOW MAKE TO MAKE A BLAT SANDWICH
STEP 1
Toast your breads. While the breads are toasting, grab a microwaveable dish. Place your 4 turkey bacons and cover with paper towels. Microwave for 2-3 minutes to get the turkey bacons crispy.
STEP 2
Wash and clean your butter lettuce. Set aside. Then cut up your tomatoes into 4 slices and set aside. Slice avocado in half.
STEP 3
Grab your toasted breads. Spread mayonaise on both bread slices. Grab one of the half sliced avocado and scoop with a spoon. Spread it on the bread. You can mash this or prep in slices. Add the butter lettuce, 2 pieces of turkey bacon, tomato slices, and then a slice of cheese. Top off with the other slice of bread. The order of the ingredients can be made any way you want!
If you’re a fan of the classic BLT, then you have to try the Blat sandwich. The addition of avocado takes this already amazing sandwich to new heights, and it’s incredibly easy to make. Whether you stick to the classic recipe or mix things up with some variations, the Blat sandwich is sure to become a new favorite in your sandwich rotation.
VARIATIONS
While the classic Blat sandwich is amazing on its own, there are a few variations that you can try to mix things up:
- Add some sliced jalapenos for a spicy kick.
- Use a flavored mayo (such as chipotle or garlic) or plain mayo for added flavor.
