# Expert Suggestions:
01 -
- Every layer delivers something different, from creamy avocado to crispy bacon, making each bite an adventure
- Its the kind of sandwich that feels like a restaurant meal but comes together in under 30 minutes
02 -
- Pat your tomatoes and lettuce dry with paper towels before assembling. Water is the enemy of a good sandwich.
- The wooden picks should go through all three layers on a diagonal. Trust me, I've learned this the messy way.
03 -
- Cook your bacon in the oven at 400 degrees for 15 minutes. It comes out perfectly flat and evenly crispy every time.
- If your avocado is slightly underripe, slice it thinner and it'll still be delicious. Better than waiting two days.
