BLT CAESAR
Steps:
- The BLT Caesar is Chuck Hughes' ingenious take on the classic Caesar featuring a prosciutto rim, lettuce ice cubes and a kick of fresh horseradish.
- For the prosciutto rim: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- On a baking tray lined with parchment paper, place the slices of prosciutto, cover with another sheet of parchment paper and another baking tray. Cook in the oven until crispy, about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside.
- Using a spice grinder, reduce the prosciutto to powder with the smoked salt and peppercorns.
- For the lettuce ice cubes: Cut the lettuce head into 3 parts. Blanch the lettuce leaves in salted boiling water for 1 minute. Remove, drain, place in a bowl containing icy cold water and then drain again. Using a blender, reduce to a puree with the lemon juice and a dash of hot sauce. Add a little bit of water if too thick. Season with salt and pepper. Pour into an ice cube tray. Freeze for 2 hours, or until ready to use.
- For the Caesar: Rim 4 glasses with lemon juice and then dip in the prosciutto mixture. Drop 3 lettuce ice cubes in the bottom of each glass. Fill the glasses with 1/4 cup vodka, then with 1/4 cup tomato juice. Add a dash of hot sauce and Worcestershire sauce. Garnish with freshly grated horseradish and lemon wedges.

JUICY BLT
The success of a BLT hangs in its balance of salt, acid, lusciousness and crunch. This version is perfect, with a generous swipe of mayonnaise on each slice of toast, followed by a drizzle of olive oil, tomatoes marinated in red wine vinegar and salt, butter lettuce leaves and thick-cut bacon. Squash this closed and eat while the bacon is still warm. BLTs are often associated with summer, but the vinegar here coaxes flavor and brings brightness to hothouse tomatoes, turning it into a sandwich for all seasons.

Steps:
- Working in batches if necessary, fry bacon in a large skillet over high heat until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a large cutting board.
- While bacon cooks, slice tomato crosswise into thin rounds. Transfer to a plate and marinate with red wine vinegar, 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt and pepper.
- Spread toast generously with mayonnaise on one side, follow with remaining 1/2 tablespoon olive oil.
- Divide the tomatoes with some of their vinegar marinade among 2 slices of toast. Top with the lettuce.
- Lay the bacon on the remaining slices of toast. Form sandwiches by piling the bacon-topped slices on top of the remaining toasts. Squeeze to close, cut in half and serve immediately.
Tips:
- Use ripe, in-season tomatoes. This will ensure that your BLTs are packed with flavor.
- Slice your tomatoes thinly. This will help them to cook evenly and prevent them from becoming soggy.
- Season your tomatoes with salt and pepper. This will help to enhance their flavor.
- Use high-quality bacon. Thick-cut bacon is best for BLTs, as it provides a nice crunch.
- Cook your bacon until it is crispy. This will help to prevent it from becoming greasy.
- Use a good quality mayonnaise. Homemade mayonnaise is best, but a store-bought mayonnaise will also work.
- Add some Caesar dressing to your mayonnaise. This will give your BLTs a delicious Caesar flavor.
- Spread the Caesar mayonnaise on your bread. This will help to keep your BLTs from getting soggy.
- Layer your BLT with lettuce, tomato, bacon, and cheese. You can also add other toppings, such as avocado or sprouts.
- Serve your BLTs immediately. They are best enjoyed fresh.
Conclusion:
BLTs are a classic American sandwich that is perfect for a quick and easy lunch or dinner. With the addition of Caesar mayo, these BLTs take on a whole new level of flavor. The creamy, tangy Caesar dressing perfectly complements the crispy bacon, juicy tomatoes, and fresh lettuce. These BLTs are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
