BLTA Sandwiches – The very best Bacon, Lettuce, Tomato & Avocado Sandwiches! Made with thick crisp bacon, butter lettuce, sliced heirloom tomatoes and avocado with spicy mayonnaise on grilled rye bread.
Done in under 20 minutes, these classic BLT’s with avocado are not only super delicious but so easy to make! If you are looking for an easy lunch to whip up for the family, this is your recipe.
We served our sandwiches with barbecue chips but you can serve yours with fresh fruit, french fries, potato salad and more! I will link some of my favorite side dishes to serve with this recipe for you below.
This recipe makes 4 generous sized sandwiches. If you are cooking for a crowd you can easily double the recipe.
Tools to have on hand for this recipe:
- Large Skillet – To cook your bacon on and to grill the bread.
- Chef Knife + Cutting Board – To chop and prepare the veggies for your sandwich.
- Small Bowl – To mix your spicy mayonnaise.
Ingredients you need to make BLTA’s:
Rye Bread – You can use your favorite bread! Sourdough, wheat, artisan, and french bread all work great in this recipe. Try my delicious Rustic French Bread Recipe!
Bacon – I used thick cut bacon in this recipe, but you can use any bacon you have on hand.
Tomatoes – I used my favorite Heirloom tomatoes in this recipe because they are so juicy and flavorful. But, if you don’t have heirlooms, you can use any tomatoes you prefer!
Avocado – You’ll need about two avocados for this recipe. Although, you can get away with just using one if that’s all you have.
Lettuce – I used butter lettuce in this recipe but you can also use romaine lettuce, spinach, or shredded iceberg lettuce.
Yellow Mustard + Mayonnaise + Sriracha – For the super tasty spicy mayonnaise! If you don’t like spice, you can skip the sriracha.

How to make the most delicious BLTA Sandwiches ever!
Start by cooking the bacon in a large skillet until nice and crisp. Then, remove the bacon from the pan and set on a paper towel lined plate.
Prepare the veggies for your sandwich and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk mayonnaise, mustard and sriracha.
Lightly butter both sides of the rye bread and place on hot skillet. Cook until golden, then flip over and cook other side until golden. Repeat with all of the bread.
Arrange your BLTA by spreading about a tablespoon of spicy mayo on each slice of bread. Top with bacon, tomato, avocado and lettuce! Enjoy!
How to store leftovers: Store leftover veggies in an airtight container in the fridge. To keep avocado fresh, store with avocado seed in an airtight container for up to a day. Store bread in a storage bag on the counter.
