Roasted Garlic Bacon

Ingredients:

• 1 package of Bacon (no maple flavored business) 
• 3 cloves of garlic, chopped

1.  Preheat oven to 375 degrees
2.  Lay the slices of bacon on a baking sheet so they don't overlap.
3.  Sprinkle the garlic all over the bacon.
4.  Roast the bacon for about 15 minutes, or until your crisp preference.  That's it!


Garlic Herb Mayo

Ingredients:

• 3-4 tbsp Organic mayo or regular mayo
• 3 cloves of garlic, chopped or minced
• 1 tbsp of your choice of fresh herbs, chopped  (examples: parsley, cilantro, basil, thyme, rosemary, sage, etc.)
• Salt and pepper, to taste

1.  In a small mixing bowl, add mayo, garlic, and fresh herbs.  Add more mayo if you want leftovers for later :). 
​2.  Season with pepper and salt, and stir until all ingredients are mixed together. 

Now the fun part begins, constructing your BLT!
​
To build the best BLT, get your favorite toasted bread and put on a heavy spread of that Garlic Herb Mayo.  Add a fried egg, a couple of fresh tomato slices, 3 slices of Garlic Roasted Bacon, and some fresh arugula or baby spinach.  

Enjoy this simple and delicious BLT!
