BLT With Smoked Bacon, Beefsteak Tomato, Arugula and Lemon Aioli

"Big name for a sandwich! I got this from The Panera Bread Cookbook, the original called for apple-wood smoked bacon but I just had regular smoked bacon and it was terrific. I loved the very easy to make lemon aioli in this sandwich, it gives it a nice twang."

  1. A wonderful twist on a classic. I also skipped the the butter to cut few calories. Thank you so much for sharing.
     
  2. The Peppery Arugula and Lemon Aioli work so nice together. I oven cook my bacon using my Bacon Oven Cooked With Black Pepper & Brown Sugar recipe #107440 which added even more pepper flavor. I didn't butter and pan fry the bread because I didn't want the extra fat! And I didn't miss it! Thanks for posting this quick, easy & delish recipe!
