Description
It’s everything we love about a BLT minus the L & T. Juicy, ripe tomatoes, dripping mayo on toasted bread-who really needs bacon anyway? Let tomatoes be the star!
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cloves from Garlic Confit, mashed
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- Zest and juice of 1/2 lemon
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Four thick (about 1/2- to 3/4-inch-thick) slices rustic bread, lightly toasted
- 3 medium or 4 to 5 small tomatoes, preferably heirloom
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh chives
- 2 teaspoons sesame seeds
- Flaky sea salt, for garnish (such as Maldon)
- Aleppo pepper, for sprinkling
- Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
Instructions
- Mix the mashed garlic, mayonnaise and juice of 1/2 lemon (remove zest first) in a small mixing bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Spread a generous layer of the spread evenly on each slice of toasted bread. Lay the tomatoes on in a single layer, overlapping slightly and cutting in half if necessary. Sprinkle with the chopped chives, sesame seeds, flaky sea salt, black pepper and the Aleppo pepper. Sprinkle some of the fresh lemon zest on top and drizzle with a little extra-virgin olive oil.
