J-BLT Sandwich

Yield:
4 large sandwiches

Jarlsberg turns a regular BLT sandwich into something special.

Ingredients:

  1. 12 slices of your favorite sandwich bread
  2. 8 slices Jarlsberg cheese
  3. 16 slices cooked bacon
  4. 4 tomatoes sliced into 1/4- inch slices
  5. 16 leaves lettuce
  6. Dressing (see recipe below)
  8. Dressing:
  9. 1 Tablespoon mayonnaise
  10. 1 Tablespoon creme fraiche**
  11. 1 1/2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  12. 1 1/2 teaspoons curry powder
  13. 1 Tablespoon lemon juice
  14. Granulated sugar, to taste
  15. Salt, to taste
  16. Pepper, to taste
Directions:

Combine dressing ingredients and stir to blend.

Spread some dressing on the first slice of bread; add two slices lettuce, two slices tomato, one slice Jarlsberg and two slices bacon. Repeat. Top with the third slice of the bread.

**Creme Fraiche:
You can make a facsimile of creme fraiche by adding a tablespoon of buttermilk or a half cup of sour cream to a cup of whipping cream, heating it gently to 110 F, then putting it in a loosely covered bottle in a warm place and letting it sit for anywhere from 8 hours to a couple of days, until thick. Store it in the refrigerator, where it will thicken further, and keep for about three weeks.

In general, creme fraiche and sour cream can be used interchangeably in most recipes, but creme fraiche has two advantages over sour cream: it can be whipped like whipping cream, and it will not curdle if boiled.
