The sandwich
3 strips slab bacon, fried crisp
1/2 avocado, sliced or mashed
1 or 2 tomato slices, about 1/2 inch thick
2 leaves butter or leaf or Bibb lettuce
2 slices good quality, sturdy wheat bread
2 tablespoons mayo or spicy aioli
Spicy aioli
2 egg yolks
2 teaspoons lemon juice
3 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed or roughly chopped
1 tablespoon spicy brown mustard
2 teaspoons prepared horseradish
1/2 cup olive oil, more or less

1
Spread both slices of bread with spicy aioli. Top one side with lettuce leaves, concave side up. Top lettuce leaves with sliced tomato (ideally, the tomato should be of a size that one slice covers most of a slice of bread, but you may need two slices; if so, cut one in half and arrange to cover most of surface area. Perch bacon atop tomatos.
2
If the avocado is super-ripe, mash half of it and spread it on the other piece of bread. If it's still in sliceable range, slice and arrange it atop the bacon
3
Top with remaining bread slice and squash with your hand enough to get it in your mouth. You may wish to toast your bread; I prefer not to.
4
Combine egg yolks, lemon juice, garlic, mustard and horseradish in a blender or food processor. Pulse to combine. While it's running, pour in oil in a steady stream untl aioli is the consistency you want. Depending on size of eggs, you may need a little more, or you may use a little less.
