Classic BLT Sandwich

Cook time: 20 minutes

Servings: 2

Ingredients

  • 8 bacon slices
  • 4 bread slices
  • 0 optional butter lightly spread
  • 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 4 leaves lettuce large
  • 2 tomato large, sliced
  • 0 to taste salt
  • 0 to taste pepper
  • 4 bacon slices
  • 2 bread slices, mayonnaise side down

Instructions

  1. Place the 8 slices of bacon in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook until crispy, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking. Transfer the cooked bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
  2. While the bacon is cooking, toast the 4 slices of bread in a toaster or under a broiler until golden brown. If you prefer, you can also lightly butter the bread before toasting.
  3. Spread about 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on one side of each slice of toasted bread.
  4. On two of the slices, layer 2 large leaves of lettuce, 2-3 slices of tomato, and 4 slices of bacon. Season the tomato slices with a little salt and pepper for extra flavor.
  5. Top with the remaining slices of bread, mayonnaise side down. Cut the sandwiches in half diagonally for easier eating. Serve immediately with your favorite side, like chips, pickles, or a simple salad.
