Alice's BLT

This is a favorite of the guys in my life.


Ingredients: 
  • 4 oz blue cheese 
  • 1 tablespoon sour cream 
  • 2 tablespoon whole milk   
  • 12 lean bacon strips
  • slices of 3-4 in wide baguette
  • 1 bag field green mix
  • 1 finely sliced tomato
Preparation:
  • Mix the sour cream, whole milk and blue cheese to create 1/4 cup blue cheese spread.
  • Cook the bacon until crispy, but not burned.
    (I do this by laying out the bacon on a 3-layer thick sheet of paper towels and cooking in the microwave on 2 minutes. After that, I add a minute more at a time until crispy).
  • (optional) While cooking the bacon, lightly toast the bread slices.
    (You can do this in the oven at 350
    °F for about 1-2 min.)
  • Divide the slices into groups of two, and spread the blue cheese spread on one side of each slide of bread. (This will be the inward-facing side of the sandwich, as the spread will prevent the moisture from the tomato and field greens from soaking the bread.)
  • Layer the field green mix on one side of each sandwich and top with tomato. Layer the bacon on top of the tomato in a crisscross pattern.
  • Top each slice with the other bread slice, blue cheese spread side down.
