Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese
2 tablespoons hot sauce (such as Frank's or Pete's)
1 small clove garlic, grated
Freshly ground pepper
8 1/2-inch-thick slices country-style white, wheat or rye bread, lightly toasted
16 strips good-quality thick-cut bacon, cooked and cut in half
3 large tomatoes, thinly sliced
1 red onion, thinly sliced
4 leaves Bibb lettuce

Steps:

  • Make the aioli: Combine the mayonnaise, blue cheese, hot sauce, garlic, and pepper to taste in a small bowl and stir well.
  • Make the sandwiches: Lay 4 slices of bread on a cutting board. Spread 2 to 3 teaspoons or so of the aioli on each slice, then top each with 8 half-pieces of bacon, a few slices of tomato, some red onion and a single piece of lettuce. Top each with another slice of bread. Slice the sandwiches in half. Photograph by Kang Kim
