Main Ingredients

Pesto Aioli

Method

Preparation of Ingredients

  1. 1

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Wash the local tomatoes and slice them into medium-thick slices. Rinse the butterleaf lettuce leaves under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel.

  2. 2

    Make the Pesto Aioli

    In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, pesto, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well until smooth and set aside.

Cooking the Bacon

  1. 3

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until they are crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Flip occasionally for even cooking. Once done, place the bacon on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.

Assembling the BLT

  1. 4

    Toast the Sourdough

    Lightly toast the sourdough bread slices in a toaster or on a skillet until golden brown.

  2. 5

    Build the Sandwich

    Spread a generous amount of pesto aioli on one side of each toasted sourdough slice. On two slices, layer the crispy bacon, followed by the tomato slices, and then the butterleaf lettuce. Top with the remaining toasted bread slices, pesto aioli side down.
