Description
The ultimate BLT is all in the ingredients. Fresh ciabatta bread, homemade lemon basil mayo, thick cut bacon and seasonal tomatoes make all the difference!
Ingredients
- 4 slices Thick Cut Bacon
- ⅓ loaves Ciabatta Bread (See My TK Recipe Box For My Recipe)
- 1 whole Egg Yolk
- 1 whole Lemon, Zested
- 1 Tablespoon Fresh Lemon Juice
- 2 Tablespoons Dijon Mustard
- 2 leaves Fresh Basil, Roughly Chopped
- ½ cups Canola Oil
- 2 slices Fresh Tomato
- ⅓ cups Spring Mix Lettuce, Packed
Preparation
First, cook the bacon. For a small batch like this, I use the microwave. Line a microwave safe plate with a paper towel and line up the bacon slices on it. Cover them with another paper towel and microwave the bacon for about 5 minutes, until crisp.
While the bacon cooks, split and toast the ciabatta bread. Then make the quick mayo. Combine the egg yolk, lemon zest, lemon juice, Dijon and fresh basil in a bowl and whisk well. Slowly pour in canola oil while you keep whisking until you have a thick mayo.
Then it’s time to assemble the sandwich. Slather both pieces of the toasted ciabatta with a generous amount of the mayo. Seal up any leftover mayo and refrigerate it to use later! Then pile the bacon, tomato and lettuce on and close up the sandwich. Serve immediately for a great lunch!
