Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf baguette
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1.5 cups cherry tomatoes
- 6 slices crispy cooked bacon
- 0.5 cup romaine lettuce
- 0.25 cup mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Slice the baguette into 1/2-inch thick slices (about 12-16 slices). Arrange them on a baking sheet.
Brush both sides of each bread slice lightly with olive oil.
Place the baking sheet in the oven and toast the bread for 5-7 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crisp. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
Rub one side of each toasted baguette slice with a peeled garlic clove for flavor.
Meanwhile, dice the cherry tomatoes and transfer them to a bowl.
Crumble the cooked bacon slices into bite-size pieces and add them to the bowl with the tomatoes.
Chop the romaine lettuce into small pieces and add it to the mixture.
In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the tomato, bacon, and lettuce mixture. Stir to combine well.
Spoon a generous amount of the BLT mixture onto each toasted baguette slice.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired, and serve immediately.
