Ingredients
- 8 slices bacon
- 1 large heirloom tomato
- 4 leaves romaine lettuce
- 4 slices artisan bread
- 0.25 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 small, minced garlic clove
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon slices and cook until crispy, about 8-10 minutes. Remove and place on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease.
Step 2
While the bacon is cooking, prepare the garlic-lemon aioli. In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, lemon juice, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Set aside.
Step 3
Slice the heirloom tomato into thick rounds and lightly season with a pinch of salt and pepper to enhance their flavor.
Step 4
Toast the artisan bread slices in a toaster or on a grill pan until golden brown and slightly crispy.
Step 5
Start assembling the BLTs: Spread a generous layer of garlic-lemon aioli onto each slice of toasted bread.
Step 6
Layer with 2 slices of crispy bacon, 2 tomato slices, and 2 romaine lettuce leaves on each sandwich.
Step 7
Top with the remaining slice of bread, aioli side down. Slice each sandwich in half if desired and serve immediately for a fresh and satisfying meal.
