Ingredients

  • 4 slices of bread
  • 4 cups mixed greens or lettuce of your choice, roughly chopped
  • 2 TBSP Caesar dressing
  • 1/4 cup grated fresh Parmigiano-Reggiano or Pecorino-Romano
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • 6 strips of thick cut bacon
  • Cracked black pepper
  • 1 beefsteak tomato, sliced

Instructions

To make the peppered bacon:

  • Preheated the oven to 350º F.
  • Place the bacon strips onto a baking sheet, then hit them with a generous amount of cracked pepper; bake for 15-20 minutes, or until they've reached your preferred level of crispness.
  • When done, remove the bacon from the oven and carefully transfer it to a plate or surface lined with paper towels. Gently dab the bacon with a wad of paper towels to get rid of any excess grease.

To make the Caesar lettuce:

  • Transfer the lettuce into a mixing bowl, add the dressing, cheese, lemon zest, and lemon juice, and give it a toss until the lettuce is evenly coated; set aside.

To bring the Caesar BLT together:

  • Toast the bread in a toaster to your preferred level of toastiness.
  • Place about 1/4 of the dressed greens over one slice of toast. Top with tomato slices, three slices of bacon, and about 1/4 more greens. Close it off with the second piece of toast, cut in half, and repeat for the other sandwich.
