Ok, so I am just going to throw this out there. This girl loves her bacon. There is nothing better than the smell of bacon cooking is there? It's just the ultimate comfort smell to me. One of my favorite dinners/brunch/lunch/breakfast (you get the idea) is a good BLT. There is something about the combination of flavors that just really does it for me. I am always looking for new ways to amp up the regular BLT (not that there is anything at all wrong with the regular), but just to give myself some variety since we have BLT's for dinner in the Spring and Summer almost weekly. Enter this delicious BLT with Oven Fried Green Tomatoes, Arugula and Caramelized Onion "Mayo".
Holy moly guys, this one is going to send your taste buds into over drive! It is absolutely to die for. The first time I made this for Canean, I am pretty sure he fell in love with me all over again. I might have fallen in love too a little...with the BLT.
It's one of those sandwiches where you go "mmm" and "oh my gosh" and "this is so good" and "isn't this so good" the whole time you are eating it. And it's ok, because the other people eating it with you are doing the same thing. And of course you know I had to make it to where it was somewhat healthy so I could still pile on the bacon. So instead of frying the tomatoes, I baked them in the oven and instead of using real mayonnaise, I mixed in some nonfat Greek yogurt to reduce the fat. It's sounding better and better right?
The flavor combinations of the smoky bacon mixed with the green tomato, peppery arugula, and the sweet onion mayo squished in between two pieces of your favorite whole grain toast are perfection.
