Ingredients
- 8 slices thick-cut bacon
- 1/4 cup packed fresh basil
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon or lime juice
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 8 thick slices multigrain bread
- 2 peaches, halved, pitted and thinly sliced
- Baby arugula, for topping
- Cornichons or other pickles, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat, turning a few times until crisp, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain, then cut each slice in half. While the bacon is cooking, pulse the basil, olive oil, lemon juice, 1 tablespoon water, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste in a mini food processor (or finely chop the basil and whisk with the other ingredients) until smooth. Add the mayonnaise and pulse until just combined. Toast the bread and spread evenly with the basil mayonnaise. Divide the peaches, bacon and arugula among half of the bread slices; top with the remaining bread slices. Serve with cornichons.

I made this as an app for a dinner party. It was such a hit! I didn’t use the basil in my mayo. I just did a simple mayo with lemon juice. I’ll be making this all summer!
Very tasty. I was a little nervous about this recipe but I enjoyed it. My only complaint was how strong the basil mayo tasted. It started to overpower the other flavors.
Yummy!!
So satisfying! I put goat cheese on the side of the sandwich with the peaches – then grilled it – amazing! Made it for casual company – a major hit.
Most delicious, flavorful sandwich ever! This sandwich was such a yummy surprise. Whoever thought to put thin sliced, ripe peaches on a sandwich combined with all these other flavors of salty bacon, basil mayo and arugula was genius! Don’t be scared to try it! It’s awesome!!
Good sandwich. Especially like the peaches combo with bacon. The mayo was lost to the arugula though.
Ohmygosh…you won’t be sorry if you try this recipe!!! I recently made cobbler and was looking for a recipe to use the leftover peaches that wasn’t another dessert. This had glowing reviews and sounded interesting so I figured I’d try it.
I’ll definitely be making this again! Gourmet twist on a BLT. The basil spread really adds to the flavor. I didn’t have enough mayo so I did half light mayo and half light sour cream. This worked perfectly.
This is one of my favorite sandwiches. We could not wait for peaches this year so we could have it again
So simple, and SO GOOD! My husband and I just loved the combination of flavors from the peach, bacon and basil. Used light mayo and only a tiny bit of olive oil. Delish!
We used really large peaches so probably 1 for all 4 sandwiches would be good, but this sandwich was delicious!
