Lots of crispy bacon, fresh lettuce, and juicy sliced tomatoes make a perfect sandwich. Serve it as a hearty lunch option, a simple dinner, and an all-around favorite!
Ingredients for a Great BLT Sandwich
Part of what makes this sandwich so special is that there are only a handful of ingredients: bread, bacon, lettuce, tomato, and mayo. Bacon: Cook bacon in the oven for an easy no-mess way to make crispy bacon. Lettuce: Use green leaf lettuce, iceberg, butter lettuce, or Romaine. You can leave them whole, but I love thinly shredded lettuce in my sandwiches. Tomatoes: A great BLT is made with the best ripe, juicy tomatoes. I love Beefsteak or heirloom tomatoes, but any ripe tomatoes can be used. Bread: I prefer a nice thick bread like sourdough or a loaf of artisan bread however, sandwich bread works just fine too.
Variations
Adding sliced avocado Turn it into a BELT by adding a fried egg. Swap the mayo for Chipotle Aioli for a little kick. Add a bit of Dijon mustard.
Enjoy the flavors of a classic BLT and turn it into a BLT grilled cheese or a BLT pasta salad for a fun and delicious twist!
