BLT with Cucumber, Red Onion and Basil Mayonnaise

Directions

1. In a small bowl, combine the basil mayonnaise ingredients and set aside:
2. Place bacon in an unheated skillet (this will reduce bacon shrinkage), turn burner to medium heat and cook for 10 minutes or until desired crispness, turning frequently.
3. Immediately remove from skillet, drain and blot with paper towels.
4. Alternatively, place bacon on paper towels or a microwave bacon cooker and cook for 2 ½ to 3 ½ minutes or until desired doneness.
5. Set aside.
6. Spread 1 tablespoon of basil mayonnaise on each piece of toasted bread.
7. Layer tomato, onion, and cucumber slices evenly on two pieces of bread.
8. Place two pieces of bacon on each stack, cover with lettuce leaves, and top with remaining slices of toasted bread.
