Photo: Fresh Mozzarella BLT with Pesto Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 4-inch piece baguette
- 2 slices low-sodium applewood-smoked bacon

- 1 1/2 teaspoons low-fat mayonnaise
- 1 spear romaine lettuce
- 2 thick slices heirloom tomato
- 1 thick slice fresh mozzarella
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
Directions
Slice the baguette open, leaving one side attached to form a hinge. Cook the bacon in a skillet over low heat until crispy; drain on paper towels.
Combine the pesto with the mayonnaise and smear on the bottom part of the bread. Layer the romaine on the bread, then the tomato, bacon and mozzarella. Season with salt and pepper; close the sandwich and wrap in parchment paper.

Made this for dinner tonight and it was a success. I changed a few things since I didn't have everything it called for. I had ciabatta bread so I used that instead. Also, my husband wanted it more meaty so I added turkey deli meat to it. It turned out really good! Loved the fresh mozzarella and the pesto/mayo spread!

This recipe is very easy and tasty, perfect summer meal. I made my own pesto instead of store bought and turned out GREAT. The combination of the mozzarella, tomato and pesto all blended together nicely.

Ok... I love pesto. And I love bacon. This recipe made me realize I don't like them together. The pesto overwhelms it all and I really, really, really want to taste bacon when eating a BLT. Plus, fresh mozzarella is divine! Not allowed to shine like it should either. Great concept with all the ingredients, but bombs in real life. That said, I wasn't mad and my belly was full.
