Here’s the classic BLT Sandwich — simple, crispy, and packed with flavor 🥓🥬🍅
BLT Sandwich
Ingredients (Serves 1)
- 2 slices of bread (white, whole wheat, or sourdough)
- 3–4 slices cooked bacon
- 2–3 leaves fresh lettuce (Romaine, Iceberg, or your choice)
- 2–3 slices ripe tomato
- 1–2 tsp mayonnaise (or more, to taste)
- Optional: salt & pepper
Instructions
- Cook the bacon:
- Fry in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, or bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15–20 minutes on a parchment-lined sheet.
- Drain on paper towels.
- Toast the bread:
- Lightly toast the slices until golden brown for extra crunch.
- Assemble the sandwich:
- Spread mayonnaise on one or both slices of toast.
- Layer lettuce, tomato slices (season with a pinch of salt & pepper if desired), and bacon.
- Top with the second slice of bread.
- Serve:
- Cut in half diagonally and enjoy immediately.
✅ Tips
- Use ripe, juicy tomatoes — they make all the difference.
- For extra flavor, add avocado slices or a fried egg.
- Make it crispy: toast the bread and use crisp lettuce and bacon.
If you want, I can give a gourmet BLT version with garlic aioli, smoked bacon, and heirloom tomatoes for an upgraded flavor.
Do you want me to share that version?
