Ingredients

  • ¼ cup Mayonnaise
  • 3 tsp Sun Dried Tomato Pesto store-bought
  • 1 pound Bacon, natural, Applewood smoked if possible
  • 2 pieces Naan Bread see Recipe Note large Naan
  • 1 ½ tbsp Olive Oil
  • 4 pieces Butter Lettuce, organic if possible
  • 2 Tomatoes, thinly sliced

Instructions

  • Heat the oven to 400.
  • Stir together the mayonnaise and the sun dried tomato pesto In a small bowl, and set aside until ready to compile sandwich.
  • Using a large baking sheet lined with either aluminum foil or a shallow baking rack that fits it, place the bacon slices side by side, next to each other
  • Bake the bacon for 20-25 minutes, until crispy. Note: Baking time can take up to 35 minutes, depending on your oven. See Recipe Notes.
  • When removing bacon slices from the baking sheet, set them on a paper towel until ready to use.
  • Spritz the naan bread with a little bit of water and heat in the microwave to soften, about 25 seconds.
  • Alternatively, place naan on a large baking sheet in oven, spritz lightly with water, and bake just until warm, about 4 minutes.
  • After warming the Naan bread with either method, brush both sides of the naan with a thin coating of olive oil, and set aside until ready to build your sandwich.
  • Spoon a heaping tablespoon of the Sun Dried Tomato Mayo on half of the warm Naan bread.
    Add a piece of butter lettuce.
  • Add a few slices of tomato, then 5 or 6 slices of the crispy bacon.
  • Fold over and slice in two, and serve.

Notes

  • With so few ingredients in this recipe, seek out great quality ingredients. It makes a difference!
  • Oven times greatly vary, so check to see if your bacon is done at about 25 minutes.  It can take up to 35 minutes or so. 
  • Remove fully cooked bacon to a side plate if some pieces cook quicker than others.
  • After removing from the oven, place the cooked bacon on a plate lined with a few paper towels underneath to absorb any grease left from cooking.
  • Naan bread comes in small and large sizes, I used large and sliced it in half for two servings.
