Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Place the 4 strips of bacon in a skillet over medium heat.
- Cook the bacon until it is crispy and golden brown, about 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally.
- Once cooked, transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to drain the excess grease. Set aside.
- While the bacon is cooking, lightly toast the 2 slices of whole-wheat bread in a toaster until they are golden brown.
- Spread 1 tbsp of mayonnaise evenly on one side of each toasted bread slice.
- Place the toasted bread with the mayonnaise side facing up on a clean surface.
- Lay 2 leaves of lettuce on top of one slice of bread.
- Add 2 slices of tomato on top of the lettuce.
- Arrange the 4 strips of cooked bacon evenly on top of the tomato slices.
- Place the second slice of bread on top of the bacon, mayonnaise side down, to complete the sandwich.
- Cut the sandwich in half diagonally for easier handling if desired.
- Serve immediately as a lunch option or a hearty snack!
Tips:
- Choose high-quality, thick-cut bacon for a meatier bite and enhanced flavor.
- Toasting the bread can add a delightful crunch and prevent it from getting soggy from the toppings.
- Use fresh, crisp lettuce and ripe tomatoes for the best texture and taste.
- If you prefer a lighter option, consider using turkey bacon or a vegan bacon alternative.
- For an added twist, consider mixing some fresh herbs into the mayonnaise or using a flavored mayonnaise.
The BLT sandwich is an easy-to-make classic that guarantees satisfaction with its combination of crispy, savory, and fresh ingredients. By using quality whole-wheat bread and perfectly balancing the amount of bacon, lettuce, tomato, and mayonnaise, you can enjoy a delicious and nutritious meal. Remember to serve it fresh and enjoy every bite!
