Avocado BLT Sandwiches with Spicy Aioli

How do you make something amazing, even better? Add cheese, avocado and add a smear of spicy aioli. It’s really messy, but it might just be the best sandwich you’ll eat all week!

BLT’s are a late summer staple in our house. They’re one of my favorite lazy weeknight meals, but if you fancy them up a bit  with avocado and spicy aioli, they’ll please even the pickiest of dinner guests.
