Loaded Bacon Ciabatta BLT with Parmesan-Lemon Aioli

We’ve frequented a local restaurant and this BLT was always on their menu…unfortunately the restaurant recently had a kitchen fire and hasn’t yet reopened – so I made it for my son who’s been craving a good old fashioned BLT…my twist on it was adding the Parmesan-Lemon Aioli which punched up the flavor!

Cuban Sandwich

Cuban Sandwich

On Tuesday I shared a fabulous Cuban Mojo Pork Roast inspired by my husband’s recent trip to Florida – with the intention of making today’s Cuban Sandwiches with the leftovers.

Citrus-marinated pork, thick slices of Tavern Ham, Swiss cheese & Dill pickles pressed between two slices of rustic bread that’s been slathered with Roasted Garlic, Peppercorn & Cilantro Aioli & a dollop of Dijon. Grilled to perfection. Now that’s a sandwich! Continue reading
