No reviews

This BLT sandwich layers Cajun candied bacon, juicy tomatoes, and crisp greens on grilled sourdough with a bold Sriracha aioli. 

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 sandwiches 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale

For the candied bacon:

For the Sriracha aioli:

  • 8 ounces mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons Sriracha
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

For the sandwich:

  • 1 large sourdough boule
  • 2 large vine-ripened tomatoes
  • 2 ounces spring mix

Instructions

  1. Follow our Candied Bacon recipe and set aside to cool. 
  2. Combine mayonnaise, Sriracha, and lemon juice in a small bowl and mix until smooth.
  3. Slice sourdough boule into half inch thick slices and grill or toast until golden with good char marks.
  4. Spread aioli generously on each slice, then layer with spring mix, sliced tomatoes, and candied bacon. Serve immediately. 

Notes

  • Make Ahead: make the candied bacon up to 2 days in advance. Re-crisp in a 350°F oven for 3 to 5 minutes before assembling.
  • Bread: sourdough is our first choice but ciabatta, or a crusty Italian loaf work well too. 
  • Heat Level: for a spicier aioli add an extra tablespoon of Sriracha. For milder, reduce to one tablespoon.
