BLT Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Marinate the Tomatoes

    Slice the tomatoes and place them in a bowl. Drizzle with balsamic vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Caramelize the Onions

    Slice the onion thinly. In a pan over medium heat, add a bit of olive oil and the sliced onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are golden brown and caramelized, about 15-20 minutes.

  3. 3

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet, cook the thick-cut bacon over medium heat until crispy. Drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Aioli

    In a bowl, mix the mayonnaise with the caramelized onions, adding salt and pepper to taste.

  5. 5

    Toast the Bread

    Grill or toast the sourdough slices until golden brown.

  6. 6

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Spread the caramelized onion aioli on one side of each slice of sourdough. Layer with marinated tomatoes, crispy bacon, and arugula. Top with another slice of bread, aioli side down.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Cut the sandwich in half and serve with your choice of starch on the side.
