Cook Time:
15 minutes
Servings:
4 Sandwiches
Ingredients
  • 8 strips thick-cut bacon
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 clove garlic, grated
  • ½ tablespoon dried parsley
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 8 large pieces iceberg lettuce
  • 8 large tomato, slices
  • 8 slices bread, toasted
Directions
  1. Preheat the oven to 400 F. Line a baking sheet with foil, and add the bacon. Do not crowd the pan.
  2. Mix the honey and cayenne together in a small bowl, then brush a light layer of hot honey on each strip of bacon.
  3. Cook the bacon in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until desired crispness. Remove from the oven, and let cool slightly.
  4. While the bacon cooks, whisk together the mayonnaise, garlic, parsley, and lemon juice in a small bowl. Spread the aioli on half or all the toasted bread slices.
  5. Layer the lettuce and tomato on top of the aioli, then add the bacon once cooked. Top each sandwich with the second pieces of toasted bread, adding more aioli if desired.
