It's a perfect balance of savory, salty, and fresh flavors, all stacked between slices of toasted bread.

The preparation is simple and straightforward, making it an ideal choice for a busy day. You'll start by frying up some bacon until it's perfectly crispy, and then you'll toast your bread and butter one side. The magic happens when you assemble the sandwich, layering on the bacon, sun-dried tomatoes, and avocado slices. A sprinkle of salt and pepper adds the perfect finishing touch.

Look for sun-dried tomatoes packed in olive oil for a more intense flavor. And, of course, opt for good-quality bacon—it makes all the difference. You can also add your favorite greens, such as arugula or spinach, for an extra nutritional boost and a bit of freshness.
