🥓🍅🥬 TREMENDOUS BLT Classic Sandwich
🧾 Ingredients (per sandwich):
-
2 slices thick-cut bread (white, sourdough, or toasted brioche)
-
4–6 slices thick-cut bacon, cooked crispy
-
2–3 slices ripe tomato, seasoned with salt & pepper
-
Fresh lettuce (romaine or butter lettuce for crunch)
-
Mayonnaise (high-quality or flavored like garlic mayo)
-
Optional:
-
Avocado slices
-
Cheddar cheese
-
Hot sauce or Dijon mustard
-
🔥 Instructions:
-
Cook the Bacon:
-
Bake or pan-fry until crispy (baking at 400°F/200°C for 15–20 minutes works great).
-
Drain on paper towels.
-
-
Toast the Bread:
-
Toast both slices until golden brown — either in a toaster, skillet with butter, or oven.
-
This keeps the sandwich from getting soggy.
-
-
Season the Tomatoes:
-
Slice ripe tomatoes and sprinkle with salt and black pepper — this step adds tons of flavor.
-
-
Assemble the Sandwich:
-
Spread mayo generously on both slices of bread.
-
Layer in order:
-
Lettuce (bottom, to protect the bread)
-
Bacon (lots of it)
-
Tomato slices
-
-
Optional: Add avocado or cheese here if using.
-
-
Close, Press, Slice:
-
Press gently, slice in half (diagonally for drama), and serve immediately.
-
🔁 Pro Tips & Variations:
-
BLAT: Add avocado for a BLT + A.

Spicy twist: Add sriracha mayo or a few jalapeño slices.
-
Egg it up: Throw a fried egg in there for a breakfast BLT.
-
Grilled version: Butter the bread and pan-grill the whole sandwich for a hot, melty twist.

Kettle chips or sweet potato fries
