The Classic BLT Sandwich Recipe
The classic BLT sandwich is a timeless favorite made with crispy bacon, fresh lettuce, juicy tomatoes, and toasted bread layered with creamy mayonnaise. Simple, quick, and satisfying, this sandwich is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or even a light dinner.
Ingredients
- 4 slices of bread white, wheat, or sourdough
- 6 slices of bacon
- 1 large tomato sliced
- 4 leaves of crisp lettuce romaine or iceberg
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Optional: avocado slices cheese, or fried egg for extra flavor
Instructions
- Cook bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, then transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
- Toast the bread slices until golden brown.
- Spread mayonnaise evenly on one side of each slice of bread.
- Layer lettuce, tomato slices (season with salt and pepper), and crispy bacon between two slices of bread.
- Top with the remaining bread slices, mayo-side down.
- Slice the sandwich in half and serve immediately.
Notes
- Use thick-cut bacon for a more hearty sandwich.
- For extra crunch, add pickles or cucumber slices.
- To make it healthier, use turkey bacon or whole-grain bread.
- Serve with potato chips, fries, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
