Bacon sandwich with aioli
For 5 people
Ingredients:
For Aioli:
- 2 egg yolks
- 2-3 cloves garlic
- approx. 300 ml sunflower oil
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon mustard
- juice of 1 lemon
- salt and pepper
For Sandwich:
- 5 white baguettes
- 250 g high-quality bacon
- approx. 200 g cheddar
- about 3 tomatoes
- lettuce (optional)
- 8-10 tablespoons aioli
Preparation
Aioli Preparation
- Ensure that all ingredients are at the same temperature and place them in a tall, narrow container with a hand blender. Let everything stand for a while so that the ingredients reach roughly the same temperature, so not to curdle the aioli. Mix on low with a hand blender. Season, if necessary.
- Before serving, chill the aioli. It will keep for a week in the fridge. If your blender does not have speed settings, do not blend but only pulse at two-second intervals.
Sandwich Preparation
- Heat a portable grill and grill bacon. As soon as the colour changes (2-3 minutes), turn the slices. Grill baguette halves next to the bacon on the grill. Just before serving, when the bacon is crispy, place slices of cheese on it—melting nicely.
- Take baguette off the grill sooner: it should not be hot when served. Brush the lower half with aioli, add tomato slices and lettuce if you are using it, and the crispy bacon and cheese.
- Close the baguette and serve.
