The Ultimate Classic BLT Sandwich
A perfect BLT is all about using the best ingredients you can find for a simple and satisfying lunch.
recipesbynani.comThere is nothing quite like the crunch of toasted bread combined with salty bacon and juicy tomatoes. It is a timeless classic that feels like a treat every single time you make it.
My biggest tip is to use the best quality tomatoes you can get your hands on. Since this sandwich has so few ingredients, the flavor of the produce really makes a big difference.
🧺 Ingredients
- 4 slices of thick cut bacon
- 2 leaves of crisp iceberg or butter lettuce
- 1 large ripe tomato, sliced
- 4 slices of sourdough or white bread
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- Salt and black pepper to taste
👩🍳Instructions
- 1
Cook the bacon in a large pan over medium heat until it reaches your preferred level of crispiness.
- 2
Remove the bacon from the pan and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to drain the excess grease.
- 3
Toast your bread slices until they are golden brown and firm.
- 4
Spread a generous amount of mayonnaise on one side of each slice of toasted bread.
- 5
Layer the lettuce, tomato slices, and bacon onto two of the bread slices.

Sprinkle a little salt and pepper over the tomatoes to bring out their flavor.

Top with the remaining bread slices, cut the sandwiches in half, and serve right away.
💡 Tips
Serve these sandwiches with some potato chips or a light side salad. If you have leftovers, it is best to store the components separately in the fridge so the bread does not get soggy.
