1½cupscold heavy cream
3tablespoonsunsalted butter melted
2teaspoonscoarsely ground black pepper
Assembly:
15slicesbacon cut in half
4 to 5heirloom tomatoes sliced
8 to 10piecesromaine lettuce rinsed and cut
1avocado mashed
¼cupmayonnaise
1teaspoonsalt
½teaspoonblack pepper
½cuporange marmalade or any flavored jam or jelly
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425° F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Line another baking sheet with aluminum foil. Set aside.
Arrange bacon slices evenly on the baking sheet with aluminum foil. Bake for about 10 to 15 minutes, turning over halfway through baking, or until the bacon is crisp and cooked through. Remove from the oven and transfer onto a plate lined with paper towels. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt. Stir in the cheese. Add the heavy cream and mix until the dough comes together. Do not over mix. Turn out onto a lightly floured work surface and knead for a few seconds to form a ball. Roll or pat out the dough about ¾ of an inch thick. Cut biscuits with a 2½ inch biscuit cutter. Arrange on the baking sheet with parchment paper. Brush the biscuits with melted butter and sprinkle with coarse black pepper. Bake for about 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven and allow to cool.
In a small bowl combine the mashed avocado, ½ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon black pepper, and mayo. Stir until smooth.
To assemble the BLT’s, split the biscuits in half. Spread one half with orange marmalade, and the other half with the avocado mayo. Layer with lettuce, bacon and tomato. Sprinkle the tomato slices with a bit of salt (the leftover ½ teaspoon). Top the sliders. Serve warm or at room temperature. The biscuits could be made in advance, stored in the fridge and warmed when ready to assemble. Enjoy!
