The Classic BLT (Bacon, Lettuce, Tomato)
Ingredients
- 8 slices of thick-cut bacon
- 4 lettuce leaves such as iceberg or romaine
- 2 large ripe tomatoes sliced
- 4 slices of your favorite bread such as white, whole wheat, or sourdough
- Mayonnaise to taste
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cook the Bacon: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until they are crispy and browned to your liking. Transfer the cooked bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
- Toast the Bread: While the bacon is cooking, toast the bread slices until golden brown and crispy.
- Assemble the Sandwiches: Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on one side of each toasted bread slice. Place a lettuce leaf on two slices of bread, followed by a layer of sliced tomatoes. Season the tomatoes with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Add the Bacon: Divide the cooked bacon slices evenly between the two sandwiches, placing them on top of the tomatoes.
- Complete the Sandwiches: Top each sandwich with the remaining slices of bread, mayonnaise side down, to form two BLT sandwiches.
- Slice and Serve: Use a sharp knife to slice each sandwich in half diagonally. Serve immediately while the bread is still warm and the bacon is crispy.
