Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 slices Thick-cut bacon
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 large Garlic clove
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 4 slices Sourdough bread
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 large Heirloom tomato
- 2 cups Mixed greens
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Lay the thick-cut bacon slices on the prepared sheet. Sprinkle both sides of the bacon evenly with brown sugar and black pepper.
Bake the bacon in the oven for 18-22 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the bacon is caramelized and crispy. Remove from the oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool.
While the bacon cooks, prepare the garlic aioli. Finely mince or grate the garlic clove. In a small bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Set the aioli aside.
Slice the heirloom tomato into thick rounds and season with a light sprinkling of salt to enhance its flavor.
Spread the butter evenly on one side of each slice of sourdough bread. Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and toast the bread, butter-side down, until golden and crispy. Set aside.
To assemble the sandwich, spread a generous layer of garlic aioli on the non-toasted sides of two slices of bread. Layer on the candied bacon slices, mixed greens, and heirloom tomato rounds.
Top each sandwich with the remaining slices of bread, toasted side facing out. Press gently to hold everything together.
Slice the sandwiches in half and serve immediately. Enjoy your Not Your Ordinary BLT Sandwich!
