Not only are they the first three letters of the alphabet, but ABC also make great sandwich ingredients. We'll be making an ABC sandwich with garlic and habanero aoli on onion buns. The answer to your lunchtime prayers has arrived:

A - Avocado

B - Bacon

C- Cheddar

Supplies

Sandwich (makes 3 sandwiches):

Avocado x 1
Bacon x 1 16 oz pack
Cheddar Cheese x 8 oz
Onion Buns x 3

Aoli:

Mayo x 3/4 cup
Lemon x 1
Salt x 1/2 tsp
Pepper x 1/2 tsp
Habanero Peppers (small) x 2
Garlic Cloves x 3

Step 1: Cook Bacon

Preheat oven as per directions on your bacon of choice (we used 425 F)
While oven is heating, place the bacon on a baking tray
Cook bacon as per directions on packaging (we cooked for ~20 min for optimal crispness)
While bacon is cooking, move on to the next step

Step 2: Prepare Aoli

Grab the aoli ingredients and a small bowl to combine
Begin by adding 3/4 cups of mayo, juice from one lemon, and 1/2 tsp salt & pepper
Now mince the garlic and habanero using your method of choice (we used a garlic press for the garlic and a knife to mince the habanero)
- Habanero can be left out if you are not a fan of spice
Add the minced garlic and habanero to the bowl and mix to combine
Place the aoli in the fridge to cool while you move to the next step

Step 3: Preparing the Cheese and Avocado

Begin by slicing your avocado in half and removing the pit
Carefully slice the avocado in to slices lengthwise for optimal sandwich sized pieces
Now, use a spoon to remove slices from the avocado skin and onto a cutting board
Next, use a cheese grater to shred the cheddar into a small bowl

Step 4: Toasting the Buns

By now, your bacon should be just about ready to remove from the oven; keep the oven at the same temperature for this step
Slice your onion buns in half
Place the buns cut side up onto a baking tray and bake ~5 min or until crispy on top
