INGREDIENTS

Lemon Pepper Bacon

  • 10 slices thick-cut bacon (about a lb.)
  • 3 lemons, juiced
  • zest of one lemon
  • 1 tsp freshly ground, black pepper

BLT Sandwich

  • 4 slices sourdough bread, toasted
  • 4 slices ice berg lettuce
  • 1 large tomato, sliced
  • 1-2 tbsp mayonnaise
  • salt and pepper, to taste

INSTRUCTIONS

Lemon Pepper Bacon

  1. Seperate the bacon and put it in a ziptop bag. Squeeze in the juice of two lemons into the bag and press out any excess air. Let the bacon marinate for three hours.

  2. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

  3. Remove the bacon from the bag and place on an oven-safe wire rack fitted inside a rimmed baking sheet and roast for 30 minutes.

  4. Remove the pan and brush the bacon generously with 1/2 the remaining lemon juice, sprinkle on the lemon zest and black pepper. Continue roasting for an additional 10-15 minutes until bacon is crispy. Remove from the oven and gently brush with remaining lemon juice. Serve.

BLT Sandwich

  1. Spread your desired amount of mayonnaise on one side of each slice of toasted sourdough bread.

  2. Top the bottom bread slices with lettuce, tomato slices, a sprinkle of sea salt, and black pepper and then 5 slices of bacon per sandwich and cover with top slice.

  3. Slice in half and serve.
