DIVA-ED UP BLT RECIPE (BASIL AND BLEU CHEESE)

THIS IS MY VERSION OF A BLT WITH BASIL MAYO AND BLEU CHEESE CRUMBLES

*I JAZZED UP THE BASIC BLT RECIPE OVER THE WEEKEND.

INGREDIENTS:

5 FRESH BASIL LEAVES

MAYO

8 SLICES BACON (I BAKE MINE)

LETTUCE ( I USED RED LEAF)

CHERRY TOMATOES SLICED

2 TB BLEU CHEESE CRUMBLED

BREAD ( TOASTED OPTIONAL)

DIRECTIONS:

I SPREAD REAL MAYO ON THE BREAD THEN WITH KITCHEN SHEARS SNIPPED THE BASIL INTO SMALL PIECES ONTO THE MAYO. I THEN ADDED A LAYER OF SLICED CHERRY TOMATOES AND TOPPED THAT WITH 1 TB BLEU CHEESE, THEN ADDED THE LETTUCE AND BACON AND TOPPED WITH THE REMAINING SLICE OF BASIL MAYO SPREAD BREAD.

* THIS WOULD ALSO BE GOOD IN THE PANINI PRESS

I SERVED THIS WITH A CREAMY TOMATO SOUP WITH CRACKED BACK PEPPER
