Balsamic BLT

When my husband got home from work tonight, I told him that we were having "fancy" BLT's because I didn't have the right stuff for regular BLT's.  Ironic that it's easier to make something "fancy" than it is to make it regular.

I baked my bacon in the oven at 400 until it was done.  This usually takes about 20 minutes or so.  It's a lot easier than frying it in a pan.  I use my Pampered Chef large bar pan and it works really well.  While the bacon was cooking, I sliced my tomato and got my bread ready.  I didn't have any leaf lettuce or iceberg, so I had to use a spring mix salad for the "L".  This is why it is a fancy BLT.  I mixed mayo and balsamic along with salt and pepper.  This is one of my favorite salad dressings anyway, but I thought if I used a mayo based salad dressing, it would take the place of the mayo on the sandwich.  I tossed my salad in the dressing and I was ready!

I toasted the bread, then topped with bacon, salad and tomatoes.  They were really good!
