BLTs With Blue Cheese-Buffalo Aioli

• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese
• 2 tablespoons hot sauce (such as Frank's or Pete's)
• 1 small clove garlic, grated
• Freshly ground pepper
• 8 1/2 -inch-thick slices country-style white, wheat or rye bread, lightly toasted
• 16 strips good-quality thick-cut bacon, cooked and cut in half
• 3 large tomatoes, thinly sliced
• 1 red onion, thinly sliced
• 4 leaves Bibb lettuce

1. Make the aioli: Combine the mayonnaise, blue cheese, hot sauce, garlic, and pepper to taste in a small bowl and stir well.
2. Make the sandwiches: Lay 4 slices of bread on a cutting board.
3. Spread 2 to 3 teaspoons or so of the aioli on each slice, then top each with 8 half-pieces of bacon, a few slices of tomato, some red onion and a single piece of lettuce.
4. Top each with another slice of bread.
5. Slice the sandwiches in half.
