Ingredients
  

8 slices of crispy bacon

2 medium ripe tomatoes, diced

1 medium onion, finely chopped

2 tablespoons brown sugar

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

4 large leaves of romaine or iceberg lettuce

4 slices of sourdough bread, toasted

Mayonnaise (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Bacon Tomato Jam: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove the bacon, crumble it, and set aside, leaving the rendered fat in the pan.

    Sauté the Aromatics: In the same pan with the bacon fat, add the chopped onion and cook until caramelized, about 5-7 minutes.

      Add Tomatoes and Season: Stir in the diced tomatoes, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook over medium-low heat for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally until the mixture thickens slightly. Add the crumbled bacon back into the jam and mix well. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

        Assemble the BLT: Lay out the toasted sourdough slices. Spread mayonnaise on one side of each slice if using.

          Layer on Greens and Jam: Place a leaf of lettuce on two of the bread slices, followed by a generous amount of bacon tomato jam, allowing it to flow over the edges.

            Top and Serve: Finish with another slice of toasted sourdough on top, cut diagonally in half for serving.
