Now that I've tried a BLT with a pretzel bun, I'm not going back to regular bread! Using a flavored mayo—like roasted garlic lemon mayo—is worth a few minutes of extra effort too. —Adam Miller, Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Ingredients

ROASTED GARLIC LEMON MAYONNAISE:
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 medium lemon, zested and juiced
1 teaspoon roasted garlic paste
1 teaspoon minced fresh tarragon
BLT:
8 bacon strips
4 pretzel hamburger buns, split
1 head green leaf lettuce
8 slices tomato

Directions

In a large bowl, whisk together garlic lemon mayonnaise ingredients. Cover and refrigerate until sandwich assembly.
Preheat oven to 350°. Place bacon on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake until crispy, 7-9 minutes.
To assemble, spread an even layer of the mayonnaise on the top and bottom of each pretzel bun. Place 2 pieces of bacon, 2 pieces of lettuce and 2 slices of tomato on each bottom bun. Replace bun tops.
