Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 slices Thick-cut bacon
- 4 slices Sourdough bread
- 1 large Heirloom tomato
- 4 leaves Butter lettuce
- 1 small Garlic cloves
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lay the slices of thick-cut bacon in a single layer. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until crispy and golden. 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. Mince the garlic clove finely or grate it into a paste. In a small bowl, combine the garlic, mayonnaise, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and set aside.
Wash and pat dry the butter lettuce leaves. Slice the heirloom tomato into thick, even slices and lightly sprinkle with a pinch of salt for extra flavor.
Toast the sourdough bread slices until golden brown. This adds texture and helps keep the sandwich from getting soggy.
To assemble the sandwiches, spread a generous layer of garlic aioli on each slice of toasted sourdough bread. On two of the slices, layer the butter lettuce leaves, tomato slices, and three slices of crispy bacon per sandwich.
Top the sandwiches with the remaining slices of bread, aioli-side down. Gently press the sandwiches together and cut in half if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy the delicious combination of flavors and textures!
