BLT With Smoked Bacon, Beefsteak Tomato, Arugula and Lemon Aioli image

Big name for a sandwich! I got this from The Panera Bread Cookbook, the original called for apple-wood smoked bacon but I just had regular smoked bacon and it was terrific. I loved the very easy to make lemon aioli in this sandwich, it gives it a nice twang.

The beefsteak tomato was a bit too juicy for my taste.

I found this BLT to be a bit bland. I think it needed more salt and pepper.

This BLT was a bit too heavy for my taste. I think I would have liked it better with less mayonnaise.

I'm not a big fan of BLTs, but this one was really good. The lemon aioli made all the difference.

I was a bit skeptical about the lemon aioli, but it really made the sandwich. It added a bright, tangy flavor that perfectly complemented the other ingredients.
