Avocado Bacon Open Faced Sandwich Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Place the chicken presentation-side down on a baking tray and sprinkle with half of the salt, tarragon, pepper, thyme and garlic. Flip the chicken, then sprinkle with the remaining salt, pepper and garlic. Spoon the oil over the chicken and rub to fully coat. Add the remaining thyme and tarragon, and then bake until the internal temperature is 165 degrees F, about 40 minutes.
• Meanwhile, place the bacon on a foil-lined baking sheet and bake in the same oven for 8 minutes, then rotate the baking sheet and bake 8 more minutes. The bacon should be almost fully cooked.
• Chill the chicken until fully cooled.
• Using a very sharp knife, slice the chicken on a vertical bias across the breast into 1/8-inch-thick slices.
• Halve the ciabatta horizontally, then set it up open-face to build the sandwiches. Spread half of the ranch dressing onto the bottom piece of ciabatta. Stack the sliced chicken over the ranch, creating two or three layers. Cover the chicken with the sliced Cheddar and then top with the bacon.
• Bake both halves of the sandwich until the cheese melts, the bacon is crisp and the bread is toasted.
• Coat the top piece of ciabatta with the remaining ranch dressing. Top the bacon with the avocado, and then finish the sandwich with the top piece of bread. Cut into 4 pieces to serve.

Steps:

• Spread 1 Tbsp. mayo onto toast slice.
• Top with avocados, onions and remaining mayo; sprinkle with bacon and cilantro.
• Cut in half to serve.

Steps:

• For the ricotta mixture: Add the ricotta, capers, olive oil, lemon zest and juice, salt and some pepper to a bowl. Set aside and allow the flavors to meld.
• For the layers: Add the shallots to a bowl, cover with ice water and soak for 10 minutes prior to using.
• Add the sea salt and lemon zest to a bowl and combine with your fingers.
• To build: Top each slice of bread with some of the ricotta mixture, 2 slices avocado, 3 slices tomato and some shallots, sunflower seeds and lemon salt to finish. Cut diagonally.

Steps:

• Place pineapple slices in a non-stick skillet over low heat; sprinkle with brown sugar. Cook pineapple, shaking the pan every minute, until bottom of pineapple rings turn golden and sugar is caramelized, about 5 minutes; remove slices from pan and set aside.
• Place SPAM® with Bacon slices into the same skillet and pour 1/4 cup of reserved pineapple juice over the SPAM® with Bacon; cook until juice evaporates, about 3 minutes. Flip SPAM® with Bacon; pour remaining pineapple juice in and cook until evaporated, about 3 minutes more.
• Crack eggs into a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat; cook until whites are firm and yolks are done to your liking.
• Toast bagels; spread bagel halves with mashed avocado. Top each bagel half with tomato slices, SPAM® with Bacon slices, an egg, and a pineapple slice; top with just a splash of balsamic vinegar.

Steps:

• To hard boil eggs, place eggs in pot of water with the water level just slightly above the eggs. Bring water to a boil and boil for 12 minutes.
• Drain water from pot, and refill with cold water. Crack eggs by lightly tapping on the side of the sink and peel under running cold water.
• Use egg slicer to make egg slices, then turn the slices 90 degrees and slice again, mincing the eggs. If you don't have an egg slicer, you can mash with a fork.
• Combine eggs with just enough mayonnaise to get all of the eggs wet. Adjust the mayonnaise amount as needed.
• Add dash of salt to eggs and mix.
• At this point, the egg salad can be refrigerated in a sealed carton to be used for the sandwich later, or the sandwich can be made with the warm egg salad.
• To assemble, place half of the egg salad on each half of the hamburger bun or English muffin.
• Slice the avocado into small slices and place on top of egg salad.
• Cover with cheese.
• Place open faced sandwiches on a pie plate or small low sided pan.
• Broil on top rack in the oven for 5-10 minutes, until the cheese melts and the edges of the bread are lightly browned. Watch it carefully so that the bread does not burn.
• NOTE: The egg salad is best with regular mayo, not light mayo. If you are going to eat the egg salad cold instead of broiling it, the taste is much better the day after making it. Seal in a carton and refrigerate overnight for the best flavor.
