A BLT Sandwich (Bacon, Lettuce, Tomato) is simple, classic, and ridiculously satisfying when done right 😄
🥪 Classic BLT Sandwich
🧾 Ingredients
- 2–3 slices of bread (white, whole wheat, or toasted)
- 4–5 strips bacon
- Fresh lettuce (romaine or iceberg)
- 1 ripe tomato (sliced)
- Mayonnaise
- Salt & black pepper
👩🍳 Instructions
🥓 Cook the Bacon
- Fry in a pan until crispy (or bake at 200°C / 400°F for 15–20 minutes).
- Place on paper towels to remove excess grease.
🍞 Toast the Bread
- Lightly toast until golden for that perfect crunch.
🥪 Assemble
- Spread mayonnaise on one or both slices of bread.
- Add lettuce (this helps keep the bread from getting soggy).
- Layer tomato slices, then sprinkle with a little salt & pepper.
- Add crispy bacon on top.
- Close the sandwich and slice in half.
🍴 Tips for the Perfect BLT
- Use ripe, juicy tomatoes—they make all the difference
- Don’t skip seasoning the tomatoes
- Try buttered toast + mayo for extra richness
- Add avocado for a tasty twist 🥑
🔥 Optional Upgrades
- Cheese (cheddar or American)
- Fried egg (turns it into a breakfast BLT)
- Spicy mayo or garlic aioli
