Add Step-by-Step Photos	Darbar / All my dishes 2 years, 5 months ago This recipe can be prepared in 45 minutes or less.

Ingredients

2 1/2 cups (lightly packed) fresh basil leaves

1 cup mayonnaise

1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter, room temperature

12 thick-sliced bacon strips (about 1 pound)

12 1/2-inch-thick slices fresh country-style white bread, toasted

3 large tomatoes, cut into 1/4-inch-thick rounds

2 ripe avocados, pitted, peeled, sliced

1 red onion, thinly sliced

6 lettuce leaves

Directions

Mix basil, mayonnaise and butter in processor until basil is finely chopped and mixture is well blended. Season to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)

Cook bacon in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat until crisp, about 8 minutes. Transfer to paper towels; drain.

Spread half of mayonnaise mixture over 1 side of 6 bread slices. Top each with 2 tomato slices. Sprinkle tomatoes with salt and pepper. Top tomato slices with avocado, then with bacon strips, onion and lettuce. Spread remaining mayonnaise mixture over remaining 6 bread slices. Place bread slices atop lettuce. Cut sandwiches in half and serve.

Good all American combo!!! Mayo will set this off. Nice dinner on a hot day with a cold salad.

Love the BLT! The Basil Mayo gives this classic sandwich a nice change. And a reason to have a Bloody Mary, I like that...
Do you not toast the bread? We just always have, never thought about not doing it. (Bookmarked!!!)
