Ingredients
- 8 slices Thick-cut bacon
- 2 medium Heirloom tomatoes
- 4 large Romaine lettuce leaves
- 4 slices Artisan sourdough bread
- 4 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 large Garlic clove
- 2 teaspoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Place the thick-cut bacon slices on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they do not overlap.
Step 3
Bake the bacon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until crispy. Remove and transfer the bacon onto a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease.
Step 4
While the bacon cooks, wash the heirloom tomatoes and slice them into 1/4-inch-thick rounds. Sprinkle lightly with salt to bring out their flavor.
Step 5
Rinse and pat dry the romaine lettuce leaves. Set aside.
Step 6
In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise and the freshly grated or finely minced garlic clove. Stir thoroughly and set aside your garlic mayo.
Step 7
Lightly spread butter on one side of each slice of sourdough bread. Toast the buttered sides in a large skillet or griddle over medium heat until golden and crisp, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 8
To assemble the sandwich, spread 1 tablespoon of garlic mayo on the non-toasted side of each slice of bread.
Step 9
Layer 2-3 slices of heirloom tomatoes on one slice of bread, followed by 4 slices of crispy bacon and 2 large romaine lettuce leaves.
Step 10
Top with the second slice of toasted bread, garlic mayo side down.
Step 11
Slice the sandwich diagonally and serve immediately. Enjoy your expertly crafted BLT!
