Pimiento BLTs

Ingredients for Pimiento BLTs

• 450g thick-cut bacon (about 8 slices)

• 170g sharp cheddar, grated (about 300g )

• 80g mayonnaise

• 3 tablespoons chopped roasted red pepper from a jar

• 2 tablespoons chopped pickled jalapeños

• Kosher salt

• Freshly ground pepper

• 24 slices soft white sandwich bread, crusts removed, halved

• 3 plum tomatoes, sliced 1/4 " thick

• 3 cups mixed greens or trimmed rocket

Preheat oven to 204°C. Bake bacon on 2 foil-lined rimmed baking sheets, rotating halfway through, until bacon is brown and crisp, 18-20 minutes; drain on paper towels.

Meanwhile, mix cheese, mayonnaise, red pepper, and jalapeños in a medium bowl; season pimiento cheese with salt and pepper.

Spread half of bread slices with pimiento cheese. Build sandwiches with bacon, tomatoes, mixed greens, and remaining bread slices.

Do ahead: Pimiento cheese can be made 2 days ahead; cover and chill. Sandwiches can be assembled 3 hours ahead; wrap tightly and chill.
