Country Fried B.L.T. with Fresh Herb Aioli

Description

Bacon is considered by many (myself included) to be the ice cream of meats. Breading and frying it in oil takes it to a completely new level. I serve these on slider buns as appetizers for parties.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup mayonnaise (such as Hellman’s®)
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 cup chopped fresh basil
  • 1 cup chopped fresh dill
  • 1 quart oil for frying
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1 (1 pound) package bacon strips, halved
  • 16 small sandwich rolls
  • 4 tomatoes, sliced
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • ½ head lettuce, chopped
