Hi, I’m Sarah from Chef Next Door Blog and I’ve been brought onto the EpicureanDC team as a recipe developer and writer. You can check out my bio below to learn more about me, see where you can find me, and read more of my work.
Today I’m sharing with you one of my favorite sandwiches. It’s not a fancy or complicated sandwich, but it’s a darn good one. I’m taking the traditional BLT and kicking it up a notch, California style. Using a soft, fluffy croissant as the base, and adding creamy avocado for a little extra kick, you’ve got one flavorful and delicious sandwich on your hands. It’s quick and easy to make, which is great when you’re short on time. Serve it for lunch or even dinner with a bowl of soup or a salad. Enjoy!

You had me at bacon! OMG does this sound good.
That looks amazing!
The buttery texture that melts in your mouth mixed with crisp fresh tomatoes!
Now if only I could figure out how NOT to burn the bacon!
LOL!
Thanks for sharing!
I love BLTs and we have started a sandwich dinner night each week. This will be on the menu. Thx
You just can’t go wrong with bacon and avocado! The croissant is just icing on the cake, or bread on the sandwich as this shall be!
This sounds SO good! I would have never thought to add lettuce and tomato to a croissant! I’ll have to have this for lunch one of these days!
This looks like a perfect sandwich for lunch! Thanks for this recipe!
A BIG YUM! That looks amazing right now. I have so been in the mood for a BLT but on a croissant, that is genius!
My kids would be devouring these at our house. Love the change up of the bread.
All my pregnancy my biggest crave was bacon, I’m trying to lose the baby weight but I’m still craving bacon and this BLt looks fantastic.
This looks fantastic and something that the kids and I would love to eat. I am definitely going to make this soon.
Oh my anything bacon is delicious… Looks like a nice afternoon lunch. Delicious!
I love BLTs and the idea of making it on a croissant is totally a game-changer. Yum!
Ok, that needs to land on my lunch plate tomorrow. It looks sooooo delish!
Now that looks delish. Gotta have this one.
Now that’s the way to have a BLT for sure. I like this change of pace!
What a great way to serve a croissant. This would be a huge hit with my family.
My favorite coffee shop makes a BLTA aka bacon, lettuce, tomato, and avacado sandwhich. They use a sour dough bread instead of a croissant. I am going to try your version.
What a delicious croissant! I really like avocados on my sandwiches. Have to try out your recipe for sure! Thanks for sharing!
This has to be the yummiest sandwich I have seen all week! I LOVE croissants, and then bacon…ahhhh so good!
oh my goodness. a croissant and bacon. YUM
That is one delicious looking sandwich. I love croissants but haven’t had one I a while. Yum
Oh man I am starving and that looks so good. I need to make that right away!
This looks delicious! Perfect for a light lunch.
This looks good, and oh so simple! Avocado and bacon is one of my favorite combinations.
This looks delicious. I don’t eat pork though so I would have to use Turkey Bacon.
I didn’t even have to look at the ingredients, just looking at the sandwich had me drooling. I am so going to give this a try with turkey bacon. I’m like Victoria and don’t eat pork either.
