BLT Skewers with Avocado Crema
BLT skewers are a fun and easy way to enjoy the classic flavors of the BLT sandwich. This version is made with cherry tomatoes, mozzarella balls, and cooked bacon, and served with a creamy avocado crema. The skewers are perfect for parties or picnics, and they can be made ahead of time and grilled or baked just before serving.
The BLT sandwich is a classic American dish that dates back to the early 1900s. The first known BLT was created at the Hotel Martinque in New York City in 1903. The sandwich was originally made with bacon, lettuce, and tomato, but over the years, other ingredients have been added, such as cheese, avocado, and even fried eggs. The BLT is a popular sandwich because it is simple to make and can be customized to taste. It is also a relatively healthy sandwich, as it is made with lean protein, fresh vegetables, and whole-wheat bread.
