Time 3h5m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 tomatoes, Large Beefsteak sliced 1/2-inch thick
2 tablespoons olive oil, Extra Virgin
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
12 slices bacon
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons fig jam
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
4 croissants, All-butter sliced in half
8 slices aged cheddar cheese
1/2 avocado, pitted and sliced thin
1/4 cucumber, sliced 1/4-inch thick
1 head bibb lettuce

Steps:

  • Mix together olive oil, vinegar, oregano and thyme in a shallow dish. Add tomato slices and turn to coat. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Let tomatoes marinate up to two hours.
  • Place oven rack in center of oven and preheat to 400°.
  • Place bacon slices on a broiler pan (or cookie sheet lined with foil). Mix together brown sugar and black pepper. Sprinkle each bacon slice with brown sugar mixture to cover. Bake bacon 15-20 minutes until golden brown and crispy. If using cookie sheet, transfer bacon to sheet lined with paper towels to absorb excess fat.
  • In a small bowl, stir together mustard and jam.
  • To assemble sandwiches, spread cut surfaces of all 4 croissants with fig mustard. Layer on 1 slice of cheese, avocado slices, cucumber slices, marinated tomatoes, lettuce leaves, 3 strips of candied bacon and a final slice of cheese.
  • NOTE: Preparation includes marinate time.
