Ingredients
  

For the Sandwich

  • 8 slices Bacon, cooked
  • 4 slices Toasted sourdough bread
  • 1 large heirloom tomato cut into 4 thick slices

For the Aioli

  • 3/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 tbsp lemon zest
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 3 tbsp fresh herbs, chopped Chives, Basil leaves, thyme and parsley
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 small shallot, minced

Instructions
 

  • Start by frying the bacon to your desired crispiness. Drain excess oil from your cooked bacon strips and set them aside to cool.
  • Next, toast your sourdough bread slices.
  • Make the aioli: Whisk together the mayo, minced shallot, lemon zest, lemon juice, and herbs in a small bowl. Add salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
  • Slice your tomato into several thick rounds.
  • Assemble your sandwiches: Spread 1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons of aioli on two toasted bread slices. Layer two slices of tomato onto the dressed toasts. Top the tomato with 4 pieces of bacon.
  • Finish each sandwich by topping it with additional aioli (optional) and the remaining toasted bread slices. Serve and enjoy!
