Lunch: Tomato Bun BLT

Recipe by Lindsay Funston #lowcarbgoals

Ingredients

12 slices bacon, halved
Black pepper
4 beefsteak tomatoes
2 pieces romaine, torn into pieces
1 avocado, sliced
2 tbsp. mayo

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Make a bacon weave: On a baking sheet, line 3 bacon halves side-by-side on the pan. Lift one end of the middle bacon slice and place a fourth bacon half on top of the side pieces and underneath the middle slice. Lay the middle slice back down. Next, lift the two side strips of bacon and place a 5th bacon half on top of the middle piece and underneath the sides. Lay the side slices back down. Finally, lift the other end of the middle slice and place a 6th slice on top of the side pieces and underneath the middle slice. Repeat the weaving process 4 times. Season bacon weaves with pepper.
Place an oven-safe cooling rack on top of the bacon (to prevent curling) and bake until bacon is crispy, about 20 minutes.
Transfer bacon weaves to a paper towel-lined plate.
Slice tomatoes and reserve inside tomato slices for another uses.
To make the sandwich, top the bottom slice of a tomato with romaine, bacon weave, and avocado. Slather top tomato slice with mayo and top on sandwich.
