Since BLTs are so quick and easy to make, I thought I'd show off my mad tomato balancing skills - no tricks! This sandwich could easily have been a T if it were just me. Tomatoes = yum. Do not refrigerate them, under any circumstances.
Construction:
(lightly toasted brioche bread)
(arugula)
(applewood-smoked bacon)
(tomato slices)
(aioli - lemon, garlic, basil, oil, yolks in a blender)
(lightly toasted brioche bread)
Full disclosure: (1) Brioche, for all its buttery, eggy goodness, is not the most outstanding sandwich bread for a potentially wet sandwich such as this one, though the aioli layer helped keep tomato juices from making everything too soggy. Consume quickly. (2) Yellow tomato, I love you, but I can't tell a flavor difference. Are you less acidic? No matter. You made my sandwich pretty.

Love it minus the bacon.
I always use my brioche for french toast - I'll have to try this.
Of course, now I want a BLT...
i would kill for this exact sandwich
nicole - I love tomato sandwiches!!
kate - y'know, all that brioche, and I never got around to the French toast. It was great as an afternoon snack with a drizzle of honey, though.
cef - It was GOOD. We had it night after night after night.
