Instructions: Membership. Todays offering is from Recipe-a-Day member J. Dailey.

Recipe-a-Day member Dailey informed The Kitchen Staff that todays recipe

"makes an excellent lunch or can be cut into quarters and served as an appetizer."

In a heavy skillet over medium heat, fry the bacon until crisp, and drain on paper towels.

Meanwhile, warm the butter in a separate skillet over medium heat and saute the garlic until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes. Brush both sides of mushrooms with the butter and grill for 6 to 8 minutes, until tender. Slice the mushrooms into 1/4-inch-thick slices.

To assemble sandwiches, place 3 slices of bacon, one-fourth of the sliced avocado, and one-fourth of the sliced mushrooms on each of four pieces of toasted bread. Season with black pepper to taste, cover with another piece of toast, and serve.

Kitchen Staff Tip: So you like the idea of this tasty little sandwich, but youd like to cut out some of the fat and calories? Try preparing todays recipe with turkey bacon as a substitute for the original recipe. Youll find the sandwich just as satisfying, and youll have removed much of the unnecessary fat.
