Ingredients
- 4 slices Sourdough bread
- 6 slices Thick-cut bacon
- 1 large Heirloom tomato
- 4 leaves Butter lettuce
- 0.5 cups Mayonnaise
- 1 clove Garlic clove
- 1 teaspoon Fresh lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat a skillet over medium heat.
Step 2
Cook the thick-cut bacon slices in the skillet until crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
Step 3
While the bacon cooks, prepare the garlic aioli. Mince the garlic finely or use a garlic press. In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Stir well and set aside.
Step 4
Slice the heirloom tomato into 1/4-inch thick slices and lightly season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Step 5
Lightly toast the sourdough bread slices to your desired golden-brown level. For extra flavor, brush a small amount of olive oil on each slice before toasting.
Step 6
Assemble the sandwiches: Spread a generous amount of garlic aioli on one side of each piece of toasted sourdough bread.
Step 7
Layer the ingredients: Place two butter lettuce leaves on one slice of bread, followed by three slices of cooked bacon, and finish with the seasoned tomato slices.
Step 8
Top with the second slice of sourdough bread, garlic aioli side down.
Step 9
Slice the sandwiches in half and serve immediately. Enjoy your BLT S Extraordinaire!
