I like to skip the mayo but briefly marinade the tomato slices in some olive with a little vinegar and a chiffonade of basil.

So Ruhlman, we were at the north union farmer’s market earlier this summer (before our tomatoes had matured) and stopped by a booth with the most beautiful variety tomatoes. We bought a bunch and stopped by On the Rise on the way home. I remembered your post on making mayo, so we whipped up some mayonnaise and had the most beautiful tomato sandwiches I’ve ever encountered. I successfully made a delicious mayo on my first try…thanks for that knowledge.

We’ve made some great BLTs this summer and three things have really stood out:

1. Jowl bacon. Surprisingly different than belly – the fat is softer and renders at a lower temperature which prevents burning of the high sugar content I like to use in my cure.

2. Kellogg’s Breakfast tomato. This meaty orange beefsteak has become our go-to for the BLT. Will plant it in the garden every year.

3. California avocado. Ok, it doesn’t have to be from California but its hard to imagine a BLT without the creamy goodness of avocado.

We’ve used homemade and store bought variations of bread, mayo, and lettuce but the above three things have really made for some good BLTs this year.

OMG – I don’t make charcuterie from scratch & would die for some of this. How do I befriend someone who makes pork belly or do trade for my homemade baked goods or chutney?
