BLT with HorseRadish Cream

I made a very gourmet style BLT sandwich
by peeling some grape tomatoes and soaking
them in a creamy sauce made with prepared
horseradish. Which adds a tasty little zing.
Sauteing the tomatoes in the rendered bacon fat
adds a complex flavor to the tomatoes which
you can't get in simply placing a few
slices of bacon into the sandwich.
And the prepared horeradish takes this
BLT sandwich over the top in flavor.

Ingredients:
20 whole grape tomatoes
6 slices of smoked bacon
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teasoon salt
1 tablespoon horseradish
2 tablespoons whole milk
2 tablespoons mayonaise

Directions:
Cut bacon into 2" pieces and place
in a cold frying pan and heat to low to
saute until desired doneness turning often.
Remove bacon from pan and add in the
whole grape tomatoes, raise heat and
cook them until they are heated through.
Remove tomatoes and place them in a bowl
of ice cold water to help in removing skins.
Peel skins off using your fingers.
In a seperate bowl combine horseradish,
milk, mayonaise, salt and garlic powder.
Pour over peeled tomatoes, cover and
let rest while making the BLT sandwich.
Toast bread and place the tomatoes with
some of the creamy sauce on one slice.
Then some iceberg lettuce and some bacon.
Spread some of the horseradish sauce on
bread, top sandwich and cut in half.
