Bacon Mayonnaise
1 egg yolk
3/4 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
1/8 teaspoon sea salt
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 cup bacon fat (liquid)
Sandwich
2 tablespoons mayonnaise (bacon)
2 slices bread (of your favorite)
1 small head lettuce
2 tomatoes
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
4 ounces bacon (cooked slices)

1
Method:To prepare the bacon mayonnaise, combine the egg yolk, mustard, and lemon juice in the small bowl of a food processor or in a blender and process to mix. Season with salt and pepper.
2
Have the bacon fat liquid, but not hot. With the machine running, gradually add the bacon fat until the mixture starts to stiffen and emulsify, about 2 minutes. Once it starts to emulsify, you can add the fat more quickly. If the mayonnaise is too thick, just blend in 1 teaspoon of boiling water to thin it. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
3
Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on each slice of bread. Arrange the lettuce and tomato slices on 1 slice of bread and season well with pepper. Top the tomato with the bacon slices and then the second slice of bread. Press together gently and serve.
