A mouthwatering twist on the classic BLT sandwich with candied bacon and caramelized onions adding a sweet and savory flavor to the traditional combination of bacon, lettuce, and tomato.

Ingredients: 8 slices thick-cut bacon. 2 tablespoons brown sugar. 1 large onion, thinly sliced. 2 tablespoons butter. 8 slices bread of your choice. Lettuce leaves. Tomato slices. Mayonnaise. Salt and pepper to taste.

Instructions: Warm the oven up to 190C 375F. Place bacon slices on a baking sheet that has been lined with parchment paper. Cover the bacon slices with brown sugar all over. Put it in the oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the bacon is golden and crispy. Wait for it to cool down. Melt the butter in a pan over medium-low heat. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring every now and then, for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until the onions are caramelized. Add pepper and salt. Toast the pieces of bread until they turn golden brown. On one side of each piece of bread, spread mayonnaise. On four slices of bread, arrange tomato slices, lettuce leaves, candied bacon, and caramelized onions. Place the rest of the bread slices on top, mayo side down, to make sandwiches. Lay out the sandwiches on a diagonal and serve.
