1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese |
2 tablespoons hot sauce (such as frank's or pete's) |
1 small clove garlic, grated |
freshly ground pepper |
8 1/2 -inch-thick slices country-style white, wheat or rye bread, lightly toasted |
16 strips good-quality thick-cut bacon, cooked and cut in half |
3 large tomatoes, thinly sliced |
1 red onion, thinly sliced |
4 leaves bibb lettuce |
Directions:
1. Make the aioli: Combine the mayonnaise, blue cheese, hot sauce, garlic, and pepper to taste in a small bowl and stir well.
2. Make the sandwiches: Lay 4 slices of bread on a cutting board. Spread 2 to 3 teaspoons or so of the aioli on each slice, then top each with 8 half-pieces of bacon, a few slices of tomato, some red onion and a single piece of lettuce. Top each with another slice of bread. Slice the sandwiches in half.
