Ingredients

  • 2 fresh croissants
  • 3 rashers bacon
  • 1 medium tomato cut into thin slices
  • 6 medium lettuce leaves washed and dried
  • 1 garlic head roasted until soft
  • salt to taste
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • vegetable oil
  • black pepper powder to taste
  • 1 clove garlic chopped finely
  • parsley chopped

Instructions

Marinate the Tomatoes

  • Add chopped parsley, 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil, chopped garlic and a good pinch of salt to the tomatoes in a bowl. See note 1.

Roasted Garlic Mayo Sauce

  • Squeeze the head of a roasted garlic into a bowl. See note 2.
  • Add mayonnaise, chopped parsley (about a teaspoon), black pepper, lemon juice and salt and mix thoroughly. Thin it out with vegetable oil. See note 2.

Assembling the BLT

  • Cut each bacon rasher into two and fry the bacon in a pan until crispy. Set aside.
  • Using a serrated knife, cut the croissant lengthwise.
  • Place lettuce on the bottom half of the croissant.
  • Remove the tomato slices from the marinade and place them on the lettuce.
  • Add two bacon pieces on top of the tomatoes.
  • Add the garlic-mayo sauce on top. (Alternatively, put some of the sauce on the bottom half of the croissant before assembling the sandwich).
  • Add the top half of the croissant and enjoy!

Notes

  1. The salt will draw water from the tomatoes but they will be tastier. Simply shake off any excess liquid before assembling the sandwich. Leave to marinate for at least 10 minutes. Marinate the tomatoes first before you do anything else.
  2. Roast a head of garlic by cutting a thin layer off the top to expose the cloves. Add a few drops of oil and then roast in the oven until very soft.
  3. If you have olive oil you can use this, however any other neutral smelling vegetable oil is just as good. Depending on preference you can go for a lighter, runnier sauce.
