Instructions
- In a medium-sized bowl, mix the mayonnaise, asiago, basil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Keep it covered in the refrigerator until it is ready to be used.
- Cook the bacon until crisp. Drain it on paper towels and set it to the side.
- Prepare and make the fried green tomatoes and briefly set them to the side.
- Slice and prepare the bread, tomatoes and lettuce.
- Evenly spread the softened butter on both sides of the bread slices, about 1 ½ teaspoons per side.
- Toast the bread for 1 to 2 minutes per side on a griddle or in a cast-iron skillet over medium heat or until browned and toasted.
- Spread some of the basil-mayo on each slice of the toasted bread and then add on the lettuce, sliced tomatoes, fried green tomatoes, crisp cooked bacon, and sprouts.
- Add on the top slice of bread with basil-mayo and serve.
Notes
- Make-Ahead: These are meant to be eaten as soon as they’re done cooking. However, you can keep them over a rack on a sheet tray and in the oven at low temperatures (<200°) for up to 30 minutes.
- How to Store: It’s best if the fried tomatoes are separated and stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The other ingredients will hold in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.
- How to Reheat: Add some oil to a large non-stick skillet over medium heat (about 350°), and re-fry the tomatoes for 2 to 3 minutes total or until hot and crispy. Reconstruct the sandwich and serve.
- You can swap the butter for mayonnaise on the bread to help you toast it.
- It is extra, but I like to add sprouts to the sandwich. Microgreens are also a nice touch.
- You can substitute the fresh basil with 2 teaspoons of dry.
