Classic BLT Sandwich Recipe
Ingredients
6 slices thick-cut bacon
2 slices white or sourdough bread, toasted
2–3 slices fresh tomato
A few leaves of crisp lettuce (romaine or iceberg)
1–2 tablespoons mayonnaise
Salt and black pepper (optional)
Instructions
- Cook the Bacon
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon strips and cook until crispy and golden. Transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease.
- Toast the Bread
Toast both slices of bread until they’re golden brown with a light crunch—this helps hold the sandwich together.
- Assemble the Sandwich
Spread mayonnaise evenly on one side of each toasted slice.
Layer in this order:
- Lettuce
- Tomato slices
- Crispy bacon
For extra flavor, sprinkle a pinch of salt and pepper on the tomatoes.
- Close and Serve
Place the second slice of bread on top, mayo-side down. Cut the sandwich in half if desired. Serve immediately while the bacon is still warm and the bread is perfectly toasted
