SLT – Speck, Lettuce, and Tomato Sandwich

Begin by spreading the butter on each slice of bread.

Heat a skillet on medium heat and add the sliced speck, cooking just until lightly crisp. Remove from the skillet.

Toast the slices of bread until a nice golden brown. Feel free to use the oven, or standard toaster for that.

When ready, take the slices of bread, and lightly spread each one with the mayonnaise.

Add the speck, the tomato slices, then the lettuce. Slice on the diagonal and serve.

This is something different, for sure. In my opinion it was a bit saltier than your standard bacon, and had a hint of juniper, but when used in a SLT sandwich, it was pretty darn delicious. If you ever find speck at your local farmers market or store, give this one a shot.
