This is a recipe by Roger Mooking. I've been watching a lot of his show Everyday Exotic, and this just sounded too delicious not to try.

1/4 cup olive oil

1 tbsp rosemary

1 tbsp thyme

1 clove garlic, chopped

salt and papper

Avocado BLT

12 slices bacon

8 slices bread

2 avocados, sliced into wedges

2 tomatoes

1 red leaf lettuce

3. Place bread slices on a baking tray and brush with herb oil. Place in oven until slightly toasted.
4. To assemble, place avocado slices on bread and mash with a fork. Season with salt and pepper.

I made these sandwiches for me and my roomies one night, and they were delicious!! I didn't salt and pepper as much as the recipe called for, and I think that could've improved the sandwich. The herb spread was DELICIOUS.
