CLASSIC BLT SANDWICH
This is a sandwich that I crave a lot. I am just posting it because I couldn't find it posted already on the Zaar...I couldn't believe that! My ex-DH wondered how I make these, so I decided to post it and send him the recipe. Nothing fancy -- just the real, simple, unabridged version. UPDATE: After reading Peg629's review, I have tried it that way, with one slice of toast spread with yellow mustard, and I must say it really, really makes an exceptional BLT! Such a subtle difference, yet genuinely makes a superior BLT, in my opinion! (Thank you Peg629 for that awesome suggestion!)

- Cook bacon until crispy, then drain on paper towels.

- Add 1 slice of lettuce to 4 pieces of mayo-spreaded toast.
- Add 2 slices of tomato on top of lettuce.
- Arrange 3 slices of bacon evenly on top of tomato. (Break bacon slices in half to fit, if needed.).
- Add 1 slice of lettuce on top of bacon.
- Put the remaining 4 pieces of mayo-spreaded toast on top to finish the sandwiches.
- Enjoy!
- NOTE: I also like to butter the toast slices before adding the mayo -- higher in fat, but tastier, in my opinion!

A bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwich is always a good idea, but come summer, it's especially brilliant. Why? Mostly because fresh, crunchy lettuce and smoky, crispy bacon are the perfect companions to ripe, juicy tomatoes. Also, because a BLT is simply irresistible and manages to be both satisfying and light all at once-exactly what you want when the weather is warm.

- Spread one side of one slice of toast with butter. Arrange lettuce on top, along with tomato and basil. Season with salt and pepper. Top with bacon. Spread remaining slice of toast with mayonnaise; place mayonnaise side down to form a sandwich and cut on the diagonal. Serve immediately.
Tips:
- Use fresh, ripe tomatoes for the best flavor. Look for tomatoes that are firm and have a deep red color.

- Layer the bacon, lettuce, and tomato on top of the mayonnaise.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
