A delicious twist on the ordinary bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwich. Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups fresh basil leaves, lightly packed |
1 cup mayonnaise |
1/4 cup butter, room temperature |
1 lb thick slab bacon |
12 slices whole wheat bread |
3 large tomatoes, cut into 1/4-inch-thick rounds |
2 ripe avocados |
1 sweet onion, thinly sliced |
1 head of boston bibb lettuce |
Directions:
1. Mix basil, mayonnaise and butter in processor until basil is finely chopped and mixture is well blended. Season to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.).
2. Cook bacon in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat until crisp, about 8 minutes. Or roast in the oven at 375 for 10-12 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain. Toast thickly sliced bread in toaster or under broiler.
3. Spread half of mayonnaise mixture over 6 of the toasted bread slices. Top each with 2 tomato slices. Sprinkle tomatoes with salt and pepper. Top tomato slices with sliced avocado, then with bacon strips, onion and lettuce. Spread remaining mayonnaise mixture over remaining 6 bread slices. Place bread slices on top. Cut sandwiches in half and serve.
