Craving something fun but comforting? Meet your new go-to: BLT sliders, but not just any version! These feature a creamy avocado twist that makes each bite super fresh and unbelievably satisfying. Whether you’re serving a crowd at a backyard party or need an easy weeknight dinner, this recipe checks every box for simplicity, flavor, and crowd appeal.
Honestly, what’s not to love? These BLT sliders are all about classic flavors with a cool little upgrade. The addition of avocado doesn’t just add a creamy layer—it also boosts nutrition, keeping things light but super satisfying. Plus, the mini-slider size naturally means built-in portion control, which is always a bonus! Since they’re quick and fuss-free, you’ll spend more time enjoying and less time prepping.
To begin, gather everything you’ll need to assemble your BLT sliders with an avocado twist. Start by cooking your bacon until crispy—oven-baking at 375°F on a lined tray works beautifully and keeps things mess-free. While the bacon cooks, slice your tomatoes, wash and pat dry your lettuce, and halve your slider buns. Next, peel and mash the avocado in a bowl, adding a little lemon juice plus a sprinkle of salt and pepper for flavor and to prevent browning.
While the bacon rests, lightly toast the buns. You can use a skillet, the oven, or even a grill; the goal is to create a slightly crunchy base that won’t turn soggy once you add all your toppings.
Here comes the fun part! Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on the bottom half of each slider bun. Next, add a spoonful of mashed avocado to the top half of each bun. Layer a piece of crispy bacon, a slice of tomato, and a crisp lettuce leaf over the mayo. Place the avocado-topped buns over the fillings to finish each slider.
Slide a fancy toothpick through the center if you’re feeling festive (and want to keep things neatly stacked). Serve immediately while the bacon’s still warm and the buns are toasty. Now enjoy those unbeatable BLT slider flavors, reimagined with creamy avocado!
Store any leftover BLT sliders in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one day. If you anticipate leftovers, hold off on assembling until you’re ready to eat, keeping buns, veggies, bacon, and avocado mix in separate containers. To reheat, warm the bacon and buns in a toaster oven, then assemble to keep everything as fresh as possible.
Serve these BLT sliders with crunchy veggie sticks, a little side salad, or classic potato chips. For parties, they’re awesome with pitchers of iced tea or lemonade. If you want them as a dinner, a bowl of tomato soup is a winning companion!
