Open-Faced Roasted Tomato BLTs
- 4 plum tomatoes, halved lengthwise
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon horseradish
- 1 cup sliced Savoy cabbage
- 1/4 small red onion, thinly sliced
- 8 slices bacon
- 4 slices seeded rye bread
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
- Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F. Arrange the tomatoes cut-side up on a baking sheet; sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste.
- Drizzle with olive oil.
- Roast until slightly dry on the surface, about 3 hours, 30 minutes; let cool.
- (The tomatoes can be roasted up to one day ahead; refrigerate in an airtight container.)
- Whisk the mayonnaise, horseradish, and pepper to taste; cover and refrigerate.
- Toss the cabbage, red onion, a splash of water and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a colander set over a bowl; let drain until the cabbage softens, about 20 minutes.
- Rinse well with cold water, squeeze out the excess liquid and pat dry.
- Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat until crisp; reserve the drippings.
- Toast the bread.
- Toss the cabbage mixture with the dill, 1 teaspoon of the bacon drippings, the vinegar, and pepper to taste in a bowl.
- Top each piece of toast with some of the horseradish mayonnaise, 2 slices of bacon, 2 roasted tomato halves and some of the cabbage mixture.
- Drizzle with more drippings.
