Not Your Ordinary BLT Sandwich
"Is there anything better than fresh tomatoes in season? Even hot house tomatoes would be good in this creative BLT sandwich variation. Recipe source is the Florida Tomato Committee & I admit I amended the original recipe slightly. Enjoy!"

Step by Step Method
Step 1
Preheat oven to 400°F.
Step 2
Use tomatoes held at room temp until fully ripe. Quarter tomatoes & remove the seedy moist centers so only the pulp of the tomato is used. Coarsely chop tomato pulp, place in a large bowl & set aside.
Step 3
Slice off the top of each hard roll & remove the center for a later use. Brush inside of rolls (top & bottom) w/2 tbsp of the creamy dressing. Bake till lightly toasted (about 5 min) & set aside.
Step 4
Add the lettuce, bacon, green onions & feta cheese to the bowl w/the tomatoes & toss until well-mixed.
Step 5
Spoon BLT mix into toasted bread shells. Place tops of rolls over the filling & serve immediately.
NOTE: If you want to do the prep ahead, but serve later - Delay the final step until just prior to serving (Sliced avocado is a good add to this sandwich)
