Peppered Bacon, Avocado and Blue Cheese Sliders
These peppered bacon, avocado and blue cheese sliders are easy to make and full of flavor and crunch.
My inspiration for making sliders comes to me when I see small buns or dinner rolls that look really soft and fresh at the market.
I usually find the best rolls when I’m not looking for them.
It’s when I need slider rolls for a recipe that it’s sometimes hard to find them.
Really good tasting bread makes all the difference in the world when it comes to a good sandwich.
Fresh soft wheat dinner rolls match up perfectly with the delicious ingredients in these sliders.
Crispy peppered bacon, soft ripe avocado, sliced fresh tomatoes and a pop of flavor from the crumbled blue cheese tastes heavenly with each and every bite of these sliders.
Let’s check out the ingredients:
- soft slider or small dinner rolls (wheat or white)
- crispy bacon
- avocado
- tomato
- crumbled blue cheese
- mayonnaise
- ground black pepper
HOW TO MAKE THIS RECIPE
A printable recipe with the measurements and instructions is located at the bottom of this post.
Bacon:
Lay out the bacon on a microwave cooking tray or warm skillet.
Sprinkle pepper on the bacon (just one side of the bacon is fine).
Cook the bacon in the microwave on a cooking tray, or in a skillet until brown and on the crispy side.
If using a microwave cooking tray, lay a paper towel over the bacon before putting it in the microwave.
The paper towel should lay flat over the bacon as it cooks.
After the bacon has cooked, transfer it to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb the excess grease. Set aside.
Sliders:
Slice the tomato.
Cut the avocado in half.
Remove the seed and use a spoon to scoop out each half of the avocado…then cut it in fairly thick slices.
Cut the rolls in half (from side to side).
Then generously spread mayonnaise on each side of the bun.
Break each piece of bacon in half and add 4 pieces (equal to 2 whole pieces of bacon) to each of the bottom sides of the bread.
Then add a slice of tomato on top of the bacon and sprinkle it with pepper.
Next add the slices of avocado on top of the tomato (use 1/4 of the avocado slices per slider) and sprinkle it with pepper.
Then,
…add the crumbled blue cheese on top of the avocado slices…
…and add the top part of the bun and serve.

Thank you Marla!
Your sliders look delicious…and I know they’re going to be a hit with my family. We raise avocados on our family farm in So. California, so we’re always looking for new ideas. My husband loves blue cheese! Bacon and avocado are delicious together. And my favorite mayonnaise! (I’ve been using avocado instead of mayonnaise lately to cut calories, but the flavor of that Best Foods is worth a few extra calories sometimes.) Thanks for posting such beautiful photos too!
Hi Mimi, you must have great recipes for avocados…and how fun it would be to have so many available for your family. Great idea to use avocados instead of mayonnaise to cut calories!
