Not Your Ordinary BLT Sandwich image

There's nothing better than fresh tomatoes in season & there's nothing better than this creative BLT variation. It makes a great lunch, potluck pleaser, patio party winner or picnic favorite. Recipe source is Florida Tomato Committee, altho I amended the original recipe slightly. Enjoy! .. *Edited to Add* -- This recipe was included for Greece in ZWT6 due to its use of feta cheese as a primary ingredient. :-)

Time 40m

Yield 4 Sandwiches, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 lb tomatoes (fresh)
4 hard rolls (4-inch round)
3/4 cup caesar salad dressing (creamy)
3 cups iceberg lettuce (chopped)
8 slices bacon (fried crisp & crumbled)
1/4 cup green onion (sliced)
1/4 cup feta cheese (crumbled)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Use tomatoes held at room temp till fully ripe. Quarter tomatoes & remove the seedy moist centers so only the "meat" of the tomato is used. Coarsely chop tomato meat, place in a lrg bowl & set aside.
  • Slice off the top of each hard roll & remove the center for a later use. Brush inside of rolls (& their tops) w/2 tbsp of the creamy dressing. Bake till lightly toasted (about 5 min) & set aside.
  • Add the lettuce, bacon, green onions, feta cheese & remaining Caesar dressing to the bowl w/the tomatoes & toss till well-mixed.
  • Spoon BLT mix into toasted bread shells. Place tops of rolls over the filling & serve immediately.
  • NOTES: If you want to do the prep ahead, but serve later -- delay the final step till just prior to serving. Sliced avocado also makes a nice "extra" w/this sandwich.
