Ingredients
- 8 slices Thick-cut bacon
- 4 slices Sourdough bread
- 2 medium Heirloom tomatoes
- 4 leaves Butter lettuce
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 clove Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 2
Cook the thick-cut bacon in the skillet until crispy, approximately 4-5 minutes per side. Remove and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
Step 3
While the bacon cooks, prepare the garlic aioli: finely mince the garlic clove and mix it with mayonnaise, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl. Set aside.
Step 4
Slice the heirloom tomatoes into thick rounds and lightly season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Step 5
Toast the sourdough bread slices until golden brown using a toaster or skillet.
Step 6
Spread a generous layer of the garlic aioli on one side of each toasted bread slice.
Step 7
Assemble the BLTs: Layer butter lettuce, seasoned tomato slices, and crispy bacon on two of the bread slices. Top each with the remaining bread slices, aioli-side down.
Step 8
Slice each sandwich in half and serve immediately. Enjoy your elevated BLT experience!
