Directions Sandwich with Bacon, Pistachio Pesto, and Tomato
Directions
-
Combine pistachio nuts, lime juice, cilantro, and garlic in the bowl of a food processor, pulse until blended. Pour olive oil in slowly, with the processor running, until pesto is smooth. Season with salt and pepper, set aside.
Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until crisp, about 10 minutes. Remove bacon from pan and drain on paper towels. When cool enough to handle, tear each strip of bacon in 1/2 so you have 4 pieces.
Brush both sides of bread slices with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Place remaining olive oil in the skillet. Cook bread in the skillet over medium heat, turning as necessary, until both sides are browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove bread from pan.
Meanwhile, season tomato slices liberally with salt and pepper.
To assemble sandwich, place 4 pieces of bacon on 1 slice of bread. Top with Parmesan cheese, tomato slices, 2 tablespoons pistachio pesto, and the remaining slice of bread.
