Sunnys Open Faced Grilled Blt Food

SUNNY'S EABLT

Steps:

• Sprinkle the bacon with the steak seasoning. Set a large skillet over medium heat, add the bacon and cook until crisp, 5 to 8 minutes. When cool enough to handle, cut the strips in half.
• Spread some chipotle mayonnaise on one side of each slice of toast. Put 2 slices of toast on a work surface mayonnaise-side up and layer evenly with the bacon, lettuce and tomato. Top each with a slice of toast mayonnaise-side down. On both pieces of toast topping the BLT layer, arrange the avocado slices along the length of the toast, slightly overlapping. Drizzle lightly with olive oil and add a pinch of chile flakes, a spritz of lime, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Top each with an egg. Then, top each with a final slice of toast mayonnaise-side down. Skewer the sandwiches with bamboo skewers and slice each on the diagonal to make 4 pieces.

SUNNY'S OPEN-FACED GRILLED BLT

Steps:

• For the bread: Preheat the grill to 400 degrees F.
• Lay out the dough on a work surface and sprinkle with the olive oil, parsley, rosemary, garlic, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper. Fold it over itself and roll out or just press with your hands to make a square that could fit four slices of bread, because that's the goal. (You will eventually want to cut this into fourths to serve.) Place on the direct heat of the grill and cook until it releases from the grill and is slightly golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Flip and cook until done, 5 to 8 minutes.
• For the bacon: Mix the brown sugar, cayenne pepper, zest and a few grinds of black pepper in a bowl. Press the bacon into this mixture and place on a piece of nonstick aluminum foil on the grill. Cook, without flipping, until the bacon is crispy, 18 to 20 minutes. Remove from the grill and roughly chop.
• For the tomatoes and lettuce: Brush the tomato slices and lettuce with olive oil and sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper. Place the tomatoes and lettuce directly on the grill and cook, flipping halfway through, until the tomatoes and lettuce are slightly charred, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Build the sandwiches: Mix the mayonnaise, honey, lemon juice and sriracha seasoning in a small bowl. Chop the grilled tomatoes and lettuce. Add the chopped tomatoes to the bread and press them slightly into the bread, then add the chopped bacon and piles of lettuce. Drizzle with the sriracha mayonnaise. Cut into four pieces and serve.

OPEN-FACED PLUM TART

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
• Remove pie crust from refrigerator 10 minutes before using to soften slightly. Line a baking sheet with parchment. Unfold pie crust onto baking sheet. Spread fig jam on crust leaving a 2-inch border around the edges. Place plums on top of the jam. Fold edges over leaving the center exposed and press slightly to seal. Brush outside of the pie dough with egg wash and sprinkle with sugar.
• Bake until dough is cooked through and golden, about 45 minutes.
• Serve warm with ice cream.
