Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large loaf Focaccia bread
- 8 slices Bacon
- 4 leaves Romaine lettuce
- 2 medium, sliced Tomatoes
- 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 clove Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Extra virgin olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the bacon slices on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until crispy. Remove from the oven and place on paper towels to drain excess grease.
While the bacon cooks, prepare the garlic aioli. In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and set aside.
Slice the focaccia loaf horizontally into two even halves. If the loaf is large, you can cut it into smaller rectangular sections for easier handling.
Spread a generous layer of the garlic aioli across the cut side of both focaccia halves.
On the bottom half of the focaccia, layer the bacon slices, followed by romaine lettuce leaves, and then sliced tomatoes.
Place the top half of the focaccia over the layered ingredients to create a sandwich.
Press down gently and slice the focaccia sandwich into squares or rectangles, depending on your preferred serving size.
Serve immediately, or refrigerate for up to 4 hours if preparing ahead. Enjoy your BLT Focaccia Squares!
