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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Spread a generous layer of the garlic aioli across the cut side of both focaccia halves.

Step 6

On the bottom half of the focaccia, layer the bacon slices, followed by romaine lettuce leaves, and then sliced tomatoes.

Step 7

Place the top half of the focaccia over the layered ingredients to create a sandwich.

Step 8

Press down gently and slice the focaccia sandwich into squares or rectangles, depending on your preferred serving size.

Step 9

Serve immediately, or refrigerate for up to 4 hours if preparing ahead. Enjoy your BLT Focaccia Squares!
