Marinated Tomato BLATs
These marinated tomato BLTs are fantastic! Made with marinated tomatoes, crispy bacon, sourdough and avocado, they are a summer dream dinner!
Ingredients
- 2 homegrown tomatoes, sliced
- ⅓ cup extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- ½ teaspoon dried italian seasoning
- 8 sliced bacon
- 4 slices sourdough bread
- red or green leaf lettuce, as many pieces as you'd like
- 1 avocado, thinly sliced, sprinkled with salt and pepper
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
Instructions
- Slice the tomatoes and place them in a 9x13 baking dish. In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, garlic and seasoning until combined. Pour it over the tomatoes. Cover the dish and stick the tomatoes in the fridge for at least 2 hours, or even longer. I flip the tomato slices a few times while marinating!
- Cook the bacon in a skillet until it’s crispy and the fat is rendered.
- To assemble the sandwiches, toast your sourdough bread. If you like, you can drizzle a bit of the tomato marinade on the bread! This makes for a messier but DELICIOUS sandwich. Spread one or both bread slices with mayonnaise. Add on your lettuce. Top with a few of the marinated tomato slices. Top with the bacon and avocado slices. Finish with the remaining sourdough and serve!
