Ingredients (Serves 3):
- Bread: 3 slices
- Avocado: 1 whole
- Bacon: 6 slices
- Fresh Herbs (such as parsley or cilantro): 1 handful
- Cream Cheese: 3-6 tablespoons (45-90 ml)
- Sesame Seeds: 3 teaspoons (15 ml)
Step-by-Step Instructions:
Prepare the Avocado:
Slice the avocado into wedges. Wrap each wedge with a slice of bacon. This not only adds flavor but also helps to keep the avocado pieces intact during grilling.
Grill the Ingredients:
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium heat.
Place the bacon-wrapped avocado slices on the grill. Cook them for a few minutes on each side until the bacon is crispy and the avocado has nice grill marks.
In the meantime, grill the bread slices until they are nicely toasted and have grill lines. This should take about 1-2 minutes per side.
Assemble the Sandwiches:
Spread a generous layer of cream cheese on each slice of grilled bread. The cream cheese will add a creamy texture and tangy flavor that complements the smokiness of the other ingredients.
Arrange the grilled bacon-wrapped avocado slices on top of the cream cheese.
Garnish with a handful of fresh herbs for a burst of freshness and sprinkle sesame seeds over the top for a nutty crunch.
These grilled bacon and avocado sandwiches are perfect for any outdoor meal, offering a unique blend of creamy, smoky, and fresh flavors. They are quick to prepare and sure to impress, making them a must-try for your next picnic or backyard BBQ!
