Ingredients
10slicesbacon
2-3tbspmayo
1c.chopped tomatoes
1c.shredded romaine
1avocado, choppedoptional
kosher salt, to taste
black ground pepper, to taste
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400º. On a large baking sheet with a wire rack placed on top, line 5 slices bacon side by side. Lift one end of every other bacon slice and place another bacon slice on top of the lifted pieces. Lay the slices back down. Next, lift opposite bacon slices back and place a bacon slice on top. Lay the slices back down. Repeat the weaving process until you have a bacon weave of 5 strips by 5 strips. I highly recommend watching the video. Weaving the bacon is much easier that it sounds!
Bake until cooked but still pliable, 20-23 minutes for thin cut bacon and 30-33 minutes for thick cut.
Pat bacon weave with paper towels to drain fat and transfer to a piece of saran wrap (helps for rolling!)
Spread a thin layer of mayo on top of bacon weave, then top with tomatoes (keep them on the bottom 1/3 for easier rolling), avocado (if using) and romaine. Season with salt and pepper.
Starting from the bottom, roll tightly, using the plastic wrap to assist in the process. If necessary, secure with toothpicks. Slice and enjoy!
Notes
FYI - I had a few leftover which I refrigerated and enjoyed chilled the next day. Perhaps not everyone's cup of tea, but I liked them. Of course, I also like cold pizza, so consider the source. ;-)
