Who doesn’t love a BLT sandwich? It screams summer, with ripe tomatoes and crunchy lettuce. Add avocado and you get a copycat recipe of a Red Robin BLTA. That’s bacon, lettuce, tomato and of course… avocado! The addition of avocado really takes the classic sandwich to a new, wonderful, place. And serving it on a sweet, pillowy croissant is the way to go.
Add A Bit Of A Kick
If you’re missing a little heat in your copycat recipe for a Red Robin BLTA, mix a teaspoon or two of adobo sauce in with the mayonnaise. You don’t want to go crazy with it, but a little spiciness will offset the sweet bread and avocado perfectly. It also adds a bit more smokiness, helping that wonderful bacon smoke along a bit.
Red Ripe Perfection
I try to find an heirloom tomato for my BLTAs. Or any sandwich or burger that needs a tomato. I let it get good and ripe if it isn’t already. You cannot beat them on anything, any time.
I almost always use Blue Plate mayonnaise in the dishes I make. I think it is the best around. If you can’t find it locally you can pick it up online for a fair price.

Gobble Gobble Not
These sandwiches love sliced turkey sandwich meat. Turkey and bacon go together, along with the tomato and mayo. But hey, no one says you HAVE to make them with turkey. A smoky ham would be fantastic, especially if you have a smoky bacon and add the chipotles and adobo in with the mayo.
Chicken sandwich meat is great on these too. I love that rotisserie-flavored stuff. Sliced crazy thin, too. You can get it at the deli counter or in the pre-packaged, pre-sliced section of your grocery store. Either is great!
Also try my copycat Jason’s Deli California Club sandwich.
