Woven Bacon

Or... Weird Stuff I've Found on Pinterest...

We love BLTs.

They are not on the menu all that often since

they are white bread, mayo and well, bacon.

But... when the tomatoes are fresh from the

garden it is time for BLTs. 

One day on Pinterest I noticed a pin

for woven bacon.  This person felt they

did not get a bite of bacon every time by

using strips so they wove it and then

cooked it.  I didn't think my bacon to

tomato/lettuce ratio was a problem but

I tried it anyway.  I used 3 strips of bacon,

cut in half and woven in a simple over/under.

While the bacon cooked, I toasted the bread,

added romaine lettuce and sliced tomatoes

and yes, mayo.  It looks like a lot of mayo

but it is just spread very thinly, also add some

salt & pepper.

Cook bacon as you desire, you can see I

like bacon very crispy.  Then drain it on

paper towels.

Add to the sandwich, it fits quite nicely.

I have to admit, I never knew what I was

missing before, there was bacon in every

bite and it made the sandwich better.

A Pinterest score!
