Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, as needed
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
3 beefsteak tomatoes, sliced thin
2 ripe Hass avocadoes, sliced
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
6 onion focaccia bread (or 2 8-inch round focaccia) or 6 plain focaccia bread, cut into squares (or 2 8-inch round focaccia)
1/4-1/2 cup mayonnaise
6 lettuce leaves, rinsed and dried
12 slices cooked bacon

Steps:

  • Combine 2 tablespoons olive oil and the vinegar. Add the sliced tomatoes and toss gently to coat them. Set aside.
  • Slice the avocadoes and sprinkle with the lemon juice to keep them from turning brown. Set aside.
  • Heat a griddle or cast iron skillet over medium heat or preheat the broiler to high. Combine the remaining olive oil with the garlic. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Cut the foccacia in half horizontally and brush with the garlic oil mixture. Griddle or broil, oiled sided facing down, until toasted, about 4 minutes.
  • Spread the mayonnaise on the toasted foccacia and then layer the sandwich filling on top of the bread: lettuce leaves, sliced tomatoes, bacon, and finally, sliced avocado. Close the sandwich and serve at once.
