Double Bacon LT’s aka the “Tackle box blt”
Prep:10mins total:35 mins
Makes 4-6 sandwiches (depending how you share the bacon)
Ingredients:
½ cup mayonnaise
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons sliced jarred sweet and spicy peppers (about 2 peppers if you like spice), plus I tablespoon brine
1 pound (450g) good-quality bacon
½ tablespoon brown sugar (optional)
4 eggs (optional)
Sliced whole grain bread or something sturdy and thick, like Texas toast or a thick baguette
3-4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 Roma tomatoes, cut into slices (about
4-6 slices)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
I head of iceberg lettuce, whole leaves removed if you're here for the crunch), or arugula (if you're feeling fancy)
½ red onion, thinly sliced, or ¼ cup
pickled onions
Pickle slices for the sandwiches or spears for serving
3 slices provolone or muenster
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees /180c
2. In a small bowl, combine the mayo, Dijon, sweet and spicy peppers, and pepper brine. Set aside, or pop it in the fridge until you're ready to assemble the sandwiches.
3. Arrange the bacon in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet fitted with a baking rack, and bake for 15 to 20 minutes.
Halfway through cook time, sprinkle some brown sugar, if using, over the bacon. You'll smell it when it's done. (This is also where snack bacon comes in handy. See Tips.) Remove from the oven, and transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate.
4. Meanwhile, fry the eggs, if using, to your desired doneness.
5. Toast the bread using your preferred method (skillet or toaster). Then lightly butter the toast.
Tip: another addition if you want to make this tackle boxy- try adding some smoked salmon to this sandwich it’s pretty phenomenal with candied bacon!
