Avocado, Bacon, Sundried Tomato Tartine with Roasted Garlic Cream Cheese Spread
My Secret Recipe Club hiatus is over and I am so glad to be back. Not only am I back, but I am back with one amazing dish from Authentic Suburban Gourmet. For those of you not familiar with SRC, it’s a bloggy club where we are assigned another blog, stalk them for a month and make one of their dishes. Then we reveal who we’ve been secretly stalking and one of their recipes we’ve tried. It’s fun in a totally not creepy way.
Anyone who lands on Lisa’s blog would immediately fall in love, stunning photos and recipes abound! One of the things I enjoyed most about Lisa’s blog was her ‘Friday Night Bites’. I could literally live off of small bites, I’d rather have variety than quantity, especially good quality.
Lisa’s original recipe for Avocado, Bacon and Tomato Tartine was more of a play on a BLT, with a garlic aioli, bacon, tomato and avocado. I took my cue from her but did my own little thang.
It began with replacing the roasted garlic mayo with roasted garlic cream cheese spread (cheese if my favorite food…)
I lurve roasted garlic! (the garlic was locally grown)
Spring has sprung and my chives were taking off, I snipped some and added it to the cream cheese mixture.
During my walk about in the garden I couldn’t resist snapping pics of a few flowers, it’s what camera people do…
The bacon and avocado remained the same, however tomatoes are still iffy this time of year so I used up some of my home grown sundried tomatoes.
Then finished the whole bit off with some fresh basil, a drizzle of olive oil and some salt and pepper
I loved this so much, I’m serving it for lunch on Tuesday with a Cream of Asparagus soup.
