Directions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 275°F
  2. Prepare a bowl of ice water.
  3. In a medium pot of boiling water, blanch the tomatoes just until the skins loosen, about 30 seconds.
  4. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the tomatoes to the ice water to cool.
  5. Drain and peel the tomatoes, pat dry and halve crosswise.
  6. Arrange the tomatoes, cut side up, on a nonstick baking sheet and drizzle with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil.
  7. Sprinkle with the chopped thyme and season with salt and pepper.
  8. Roast for about 2 1/2 hours, or until the tomatoes are very tender and slightly shrunken.
  9. Transfer the tomatoes to a plate and let cool.
  10. Meanwhile, spread the brioche cubes on a small baking sheet and toast for about 15 minutes, or until golden and crisp.
  11. Let the croutons cool.
  12. In a small bowl, whisk the mayonnaise, crème fraîche and buttermilk until smooth.
  13. Add the lemon juice, parsley, mint and 1 tablespoon of the chives and season with salt and pepper.
  14. Refrigerate until chilled.
  15. In a medium skillet, cook the bacon over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until browned and slightly crisp, 8 to 10 minutes.
  16. Transfer to paper towels to drain.
  17. Put each iceberg wedge on a plate, add a tomato half and drizzle with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
  18. Scatter the croutons and bacon on top.
  19. Garnish with the remaining 2 tablespoons of chives and serve, passing the buttermilk dressing at the table.
