Bacon, Spinach, Avocado and Tomato Sandwich with Goat Cheese


I believe there is something really satisfying about a good sandwich. Any time of year, any time of day or night, there are times when a sandwich is just the thing.
I have heard people say they don’t like sandwiches and I wonder if their school lunches consisted of bad sandwiches: dubious bread with three slices of baloney stacked over questionable mayo.
I tell them that they really need to try a good sandwich — such as a Rueben on whole wheat bread with sauerkraut and melted Swiss cheese or chicken salad with curry, a Sloppy Joe or a French dip sandwich.

Anyways, I was thinking about a BLT sandwich last week that I haven’t had in a long time.
So I made a sort-of-BLT with what I had in the fridge.
It came out great, so great I thought it actually deserves a post on this blog.

This sandwich is anything but mundane. It packs a serious flavor punch and will keep you full and satisfied.
To be honest it feels like something between a grilled cheese and a BLT. Probably more like a BLT. What matters is that it’s delicious in its own right.
