BLAT Sandwich

Avocado spread:
1 ripe avocado
1 tablespoon (or more, if avocado is less ripe) mayonnaise
1 to 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, depending on how lemony you like it
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Freshly ground pepper, to taste
Sandwich

Seven strips of bacon per sandwich (which serves two)
1 large, thick slice of focaccia, sliced in half
Butter lettuce
1 large tomato, sliced
Mayonnaise
Mix together all avocado spread ingredients -- if avocado is less ripe, grind/chop it up in a food processor and mix in other ingredients.

Weave together uncooked bacon in a lattice-pattern (pictured above), place on a baking sheet and bake at 375 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes.

Lightly spread one slice of bread with mayonnaise (I prefer Japanese mayonnaise, which typically contains a small amount of rice or apple cider vinegar) and the other, thickly, with the avocado spread.

Lay the bacon patty on the bread, top with lettuce and tomato and a generous sprinkling of freshly ground pepper (if you desire) and then close the sandwich.
