Low and slow makes for the most wonderful tomatoes on this BLT sandwich!
I absolutely love BLTs. I mean what's NOT to love?! But then you add an element like roasting tomatoes plus throwing in a basil mayonnaise and you have peaked my interest for sure! I opted to grab a multigrain bread like the recipe called for and it was the perfect heartiness to go with the rest of the ingredients. I don't remember exactly how long I cooked my tomatoes, but I believe it was just under 4 hours. What a seriously great twist on a regular BLT.

What you need:
- 8 Roma tomatoes (ripe but firm)
- EVOO
- Salt
- Dried thyme
- Lettuce
- 1 lb. center cut bacon, cooked
- 8 slices multigrain bread, toasted
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
- Ground black pepper
- Slice tomatoes into 1/4-inch thick slices lengthwise and place on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper or greased aluminum foil.
- Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and thyme.
- Roast for 4 hours at 225 degrees OR until dried but still somewhat juicy.
- Remove from oven and toast your bread while you cook the bacon.
- Stir together mayonnaise and basil. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Spread mayonnaise on both slices of bread, then top with bacon, lettuce, and roasted tomatoes.
I am no stranger to making different kinds of sandwiches, such as this Dill Pickle Bacon Grilled Cheese. It's missing the lettuce, but it's still fantastic! This BLT Sandwich with Roasted Pimento Cheese and Tomato Marmalade from Karen's Kitchen Stories is beyond incredible looking and it definitely has caught my attention.
