Roasted Tomato BLT

I’m sure you’ve had the staple summer sandwich before – but I can guarantee you haven’t had a real BLT until you’ve had one made with roasted tomatoes. 

This BLT is over the top good; add a slice of cheese and oh my! 

Roasting the tomatoes brings out a depth of flavor that compliments the salty bacon and helps create a filling sandwich. 

Roasted Tomato BLT

Ingredients {serves 2}

• 4 slices of whole wheat bread
• 4 strips of cooked bacon, halved
• 1 medium tomato
• 2 slices of cheddar cheese {optional}
• Lettuce or spinach, as desired
• Butter
• Olive oil
• Salt & pepper, to taste
• Basil {optional}

Directions

Begin by slicing the tomato into thin slices.  Lay each slice onto a sheet of tinfoil.

Season the tomatoes with salt and pepper.  If desired, sprinkle with dried basil too.  Drizzle olive oil over the tomatoes (we used about 1/2 tsp.).   

Roast the tomatoes under the broiler for 5 minutes, or until bubbly and roasted. 

Meanwhile, toast your bread and when the toast is ready, butter one side – if desired. 

Layer on the cheese, bacon, lettuce and top with roasted tomatoes. 

Enjoy!
