A PERFECT BACON, LETTUCE, AND TOMATO SANDWICH



A Perfect Bacon, Lettuce, and Tomato Sandwich image

O.K. O.K. this recipe is for the Bacon Connoisseur's of the World from James Beard. I have placed this recipe here for safe keeping. A recipe for a brave day when one day I may take the plunge if I can find others who will follow me into the world of Bacon Fat! It's not mayonnaise with crumbled bacon, but mayonnaise made with bacon fat. The recipe makes only a small amount, about enough for 4 sandwiches. It's best to use it all up at once because any leftover mayonnaise must be refrigerated, and the bacon fat will turn it solid." Yes, I can see it all now a very hot summer day after picking my tomatoes...

Time 40m

Yield 4 sandwiches, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 egg yolk
3/4 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
1/8 teaspoon sea salt
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 cup bacon fat (liquid)
2 tablespoons mayonnaise (bacon)
2 slices bread (of your favorite)
1 small head lettuce
2 tomatoes
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
4 ounces bacon (cooked slices)

Steps:

  • Method:To prepare the bacon mayonnaise, combine the egg yolk, mustard, and lemon juice in the small bowl of a food processor or in a blender and process to mix. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Have the bacon fat liquid, but not hot. With the machine running, gradually add the bacon fat until the mixture starts to stiffen and emulsify, about 2 minutes. Once it starts to emulsify, you can add the fat more quickly. If the mayonnaise is too thick, just blend in 1 teaspoon of boiling water to thin it. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
  • Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on each slice of bread. Arrange the lettuce and tomato slices on 1 slice of bread and season well with pepper. Top the tomato with the bacon slices and then the second slice of bread. Press together gently and serve.

Categories     Lunch     Quick and Easy     Sandwiches     Sandwich

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 strips thick-cut, naturally cured bacon (see note)
2 slices high-quality sandwich bread, such as shokupan
2 tablespoons (30ml) homemade or store-bought mayonnaise (see note)
1 1/2 cups finely shredded iceberg lettuce (see note)
4 thick slices ripe tomato (see note)
Coarse sea salt, such as fleur de sel or Maldon
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Place a griddle or skillet over medium-low heat. Add bacon and place a bacon press, skillet, or masonry trowel on top of it to keep it flat as it cooks. Cook until lightly browned on first side, about 5 minutes, then flip, cover again, and continue cooking until bacon is browned on both sides and fat has rendered, about 3 minutes longer. Transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate and set aside.
  • Place bread on same skillet or griddle and toast in bacon fat over medium-low heat, swirling occasionally, until evenly browned on first side. Flip and brown second side.
  • Lay toasted bread on a work surface and spread mayonnaise on both top faces. Divide lettuce evenly between both pieces of bread. Layer tomato slices on 1 piece of bread and sprinkle generously with coarse salt and freshly ground pepper.
  • Break bacon slices in half and layer them onto the sandwich in 2 layers of 3 half slices each, alternating the orientation of bacon in each layer for more structural stability. Close sandwich and cut in half diagonally. Serve immediately.
