BBT (Bacon Basil Tomato) Sandwich

Yields
Makes 1 sandwich

Sunset's Red Horizon: A classic tomato--with meaty, heart-shaped fruit as big as grapefruit and sweet, full-bodied flavor--this Russian native has good texture and plenty of rich juice. It made its American debut thanks to Gary Ibsen, founder of California's Carmel TomatoFest, who honored Sunset with its name.

1 piece ciabatta bread, split lengthwise (about 3 1/2 by 5 in.)

Mayonnaise

4 to 6 large fresh basil leaves

Fresh-ground pepper

2 slices crisp-cooked bacon

Split a piece (about 3 1/2 by 5 in.) of ciabatta bread (or a crusty roll) in half lengthwise. Toast lightly. Spread cut sides generously with mayonnaise.
