A BLT sandwich is a classic and delicious combination of bacon, lettuce, and tomato. Here’s a simple recipe for a traditional BLT:
Ingredients:
-
2 slices of bread (white, whole wheat, or your choice)
-
3-4 slices of crispy bacon
-
2-3 leaves of fresh lettuce (romaine or iceberg works well)
-
1 medium tomato, sliced
-
Mayonnaise (optional, to taste)
-
Salt and pepper (optional, to taste)
Instructions:
-
Toast the bread: Lightly toast the bread slices to your preferred crispiness.
-
Cook the bacon: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Once done, place it on a paper towel to drain excess grease.
-
Prepare the toppings: Slice the tomato and wash the lettuce leaves.
-
Assemble the sandwich: Spread mayonnaise (optional) on one or both slices of the toasted bread. Then layer the bacon, tomato slices, and lettuce. Add salt and pepper to the tomato for extra flavor if desired.
-
Serve: Close the sandwich, cut it in half if you like, and enjoy your delicious BLT!
