Victoria's Afternoon Tea Avocado & Bacon Sandwiches

It’s still Afternoon English Tea Time here at Tiny New York Kitchen.  Here are some delicious Avocado & Bacon Sandwiches to snack on with your 4 o’clock tea.

INGREDIENTS

1/4 Pound Bacon Slices

1 Ripe Avocado

1/2 Teaspoon Lemon Juice

1/4 Teaspoon Kosher Salt

1/4 Teaspoon Freshly Ground Pepper

3 Tablespoons Softened Butter

4 Large Slices of Either White Bread or Whole Wheat Bread

Coarsely chop the bacon and put into a skillet over a medium heat.  Cook until the bacon is crisp.  Remove from the heat and drain on paper towels.  Peel the avocado but make sure not to remove the nice bright green flesh just inside the skin.  Cut in half and remove the seed.  Mash the avocado in a small size bowl and stir in the lemon juice.  Add the kosher salt and pepper.  Butter the bread and then spread the avocado mixture onto the buttered sides of two of the pieces of bread.  Sprinkle the bacon over the avocado.  Cover with the other two pieces of the buttered bread (buttered side down).  Press the sandwiches together and with a knife cut off the crusts.  Cut each sandwich into 4 triangles or horizontal fingers and arrange them on a serving plate.  Makes 8 tea sandwiches.
