Hi, I’d like to introduce you to your new sandwich obsession, The BLTP, or Bacon, Lettuce, Tomato and Peach.
Here’s what happened. A few weeks ago Jeremy and I were sitting on the back porch of a winery and they brought us out a plate of fresh, juicy peaches and alongside them were the most perfectly ripe tomatoes. I had never paired these two together before but after one bite, I knew this pairing was pure gold!
So of course I had to put it into a sandwich!
I whip up a quick Dijon Aioli to make this sandwich extra decadent (and also I love a spread/sauce/dip). And I toast some sourdough (but this would also be delicious on croissants). Please ignore my extra crispy bacon, this is how I like it and also I forgot about it in the oven. IT IS ALL THE SAME.
If you need a quick meal that is also deeply satisfying you need to try this!
Bacon, Lettuce, Tomato and Peach Sandwiches
Ingredients
For the Sandwich
Thick-cut bacon (4 slices, crispy)
Toasted sourdough
Heirloom tomato, sliced
Butter or Bibb lettuce
Fresh, ripe peach, thinly sliced
For the Peach Dijon Aioli
1/2 cup mayo
1 TBSP finely diced fresh ripe peach or 2 tsp peach jam
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1 tsp lemon juice
Pinch of salt
Instructions
Bake the Bacon:
Lay the bacon flat on a sheet tray lined with foil or parchment paper (no need to oil the tray as the bacon has enough fat in it). Place in a cold oven. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and set a timer for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, flip the bacon and bake for another 10 minutes. Remove the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate.
Prep the Sandwich:
In a toaster or toaster oven, toast your sliced bread until golden.
Make the aioli by combining all the ingredients in a bowl and mixing. Taste and add any additional salt or lemon juice.
Build the Sandwich:
Spread the aioli on your toasted bread.
Layer lettuce, tomato, bacon, and a few thin slices of the peach.
Top with the second slice of bread. Slice in half and serve with your favorite potato chips!
BRI why is this so good?? This is my new favorite sandwich and I will be eating it all summer long!
