Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 slices Thick-cut bacon
- 1 large Heirloom tomato
- 4 leaves Romaine lettuce
- 4 slices Sourdough bread
- 1 small Garlic clove
- 4 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 pinch Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Lay the bacon slices on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until crispy. Remove from the oven and transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease.
While the bacon cooks, prepare the garlic aioli. Grate or finely mince the garlic clove and mix it with the mayonnaise and olive oil in a small bowl. Add a pinch of salt and black pepper, and stir well. Set aside.
Slice the heirloom tomato into thick, even slices and sprinkle lightly with salt to enhance the flavor.
Toast the sourdough bread slices until golden brown. Spread a generous amount of garlic aioli on one side of each slice.
Assemble the sandwich: On two slices of bread (aioli side up), layer the romaine lettuce leaves, tomato slices, and crispy bacon. Top with the remaining slices of bread, aioli side down.
Cut the sandwiches in half, if desired, and serve immediately. Enjoy your Best BLT Sandwich Ever!
