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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Lay the thick-cut bacon slices on the prepared sheet. Sprinkle both sides of the bacon evenly with brown sugar and black pepper.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Slice the heirloom tomato into thick rounds and season with a light sprinkling of salt to enhance its flavor.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Top each sandwich with the remaining slices of bread, toasted side facing out. Press gently to hold everything together.
Step 9
Slice the sandwiches in half and serve immediately. Enjoy your Not Your Ordinary BLT Sandwich!
