To make the balsamic reduction, place the balsamic vinegar in a very small saucepan and bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer uncovered for about 15 minutes or until it is thickened and lightly coats a spoon.

To assemble the sandwiches, spread some mayonnaise on each slice of toasted bread. Next layer with lettuce, 2 slices of bacon, 2 slices of tomato and 2 slices of avocado. Drizzle with the balsamic vinegar reduction and serve immediately.
