Focaccia BLTs with Sesame Mayo.
Serves: 9
Time: 30 minutes
Ingredients:
1 loaf focaccia (here’s a great recipe)
4 medium heirloom tomatoes, sliced
1 head butter lettuce, large leaves torn
1 lb. bacon
2 tbsp. champagne vinegar (we love this Brightland Vinegar)
1 cup kewpie mayo
2 tsp sesame oil
1 1/2 tsp soy sauce
1 small garlic clove, grated
Instructions:
Preheat oven on Convection Roast mode to 400°. Lay out as many strips of bacon will fit on a sheet pan. Bake the bacon for 8-10 minutes until it reaches desired crispness. Once bacon is done, transfer the slices from the pan to a paper towel lined plate to remove excess grease. Leave oven on.
While the bacon is in the oven, make the sesame mayo by mixing the kewpie mayo, sesame oil, soy sauce, and grated garlic until well combined.
Slice your focaccia into sandwich sized pieces and slice then slice horizontally. Place the slices cut side up on the oven rack. Toast for 5-7 minutes until edges are crispy. While the pieces are toasting, toss the butter lettuce with the champagne vinegar.
To assemble sandwiches, spread sesame mayo on toasted focaccia, add butter lettuce, tomatoes with a sprinkle of Maldon salt, and 3 pieces of bacon. Top with another slice of focaccia, slice in half, and enjoy!
