BAT Sandwich with Lemon-Basil Mayonnaise
20 minutes
2 sandwiches
Steps
- Using a cast iron or baking sheet with a wire rack rack, place bacon in the oven and cook for 10 minutes or until bacon edges curl and desired crispiness is achieved. Once cooked, remove excess grease by using a paper towel-lined plate.
- While bacon cooks, start making lemon-basil mayonnaise. Add all ingredients to a food processor or blender and pulse until basil leaves are finely chopped. You may have to stop the food processor a few times and scrape the sides down. Place in a sterilized container and set aside.
- In a small bowl, add arugula, olive oil and a pinch of kosher salt (optional). Mix well and set aside.
- Once bacon is cooked and drained of excess grease, toast ciabatta bread.
- Assembly
- Spread lemon-basil mayonnaise on both sides of toasted ciabatta bread.
- Next, top with arugula.
- Add beefsteak tomato slices. Top with a whisper of freshly cracked black pepper.
- Add bacon slices.
- Top with second slice of toasted ciabatta. Slice diagonally.
