BLT BISCUIT SLIDERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Combine the flour, baking powder, sugar and 1 teaspoon salt in a food processor and pulse until combined. Add the butter; pulse until it is in pea-size pieces. Add the cheddar and scallions and pulse 2 or 3 times to incorporate. Add the buttermilk and pulse a couple of times until the dough just comes together.
• Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Pat into a 6-by-7-inch rectangle (1/2 to 3/4 inch thick). Cut out biscuits with a floured 2-inch biscuit cutter and transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Pat the scraps together and repeat to make 16 biscuits total. Brush the tops with buttermilk. Bake until lightly golden and puffed, 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a rack and let cool.
• Meanwhile, working in batches, cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat, turning, until crisp, about 5 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Break each slice into thirds.
• Mash the avocado in a small bowl with the lime juice and jalapeno brine; stir in the chopped jalapenos and season with salt. Season the tomatoes with salt.
• Split the biscuits; spread the top halves with the mashed avocado. Fill with the bacon, lettuce and tomatoes.

LOBSTER BLTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Place a baking rack on a sheet pan and lay the bacon on the rack in a single layer. Roast the bacon for 15 to 20 minutes, until browned. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels and set aside.
• Meanwhile, for the dressing, whisk together the mayonnaise, ketchup, relish, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl and set aside. Slice the avocados crosswise 1/4 inch thick, place the slices in a bowl with the lemon juice, toss gently, and set aside.
• To assemble, place 4 slices of toast on a board and slather them generously with the dressing. On each sandwich, place first a lettuce leaf, then a layer of avocado, then a slice of tomato. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Cut a slice of bacon in half and place both halves on the tomato. Top with a quarter of the lobster. Generously spread more sauce on the remaining 4 slices of toast and place them, sauce side down, on the sandwiches. Serve immediately.
