Looking for a new smashed avocado recipe... with a twist? Perfect for a weekend breakfast with friends or an easy family dinner, this sub is a total winner!

Ingredients

300g shortcut bacon rashers

2 large avocadoes, halved

1 tablespoon lemon juice

400g loaf Turkish bread

3 tomatoes, cut into 2cm pieces

200g soft Danish feta, crumbled

Chopped baby cos lettuce and lemon wedges, to serve

Method

  1. Heat a lightly oiled, large frying pan over a medium to high heat. Add bacon. Cook, turning occasionally, until crisp and golden. Remove. Drain on absorbent kitchen paper. Cover to keep warm.

  2. Place avocado flesh in a bowl. Add juice. Season with salt and pepper. Coarsely mash with a fork.

  3. Meanwhile, using a large serrated knife, cut bread horizontally in half.  Place, cut-sides up on a large oven tray. 

  4. Cook in a very hot oven (240C) for about 4 minutes, or until lightly toasted. 

  5. Spread avocado over cut-sides of bread. Top with bacon, tomatoes and feta. 

  6. Serve with lettuce and lemon wedges. 

     

    TIP For a change, make burgers by replacing loaf with four Turkish rolls. Split, then toast rolls. Sandwich together with avocado, bacon, tomato, feta and lettuce.
