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!)

- NOTE: I also like to butter the toast slices before adding the mayo -- higher in fat, but tastier, in my opinion!
BLT
The basic classic: bacon, lettuce, and tomato -- nothing fancy, just delicious. (I personally use fake vegetarian bacon these days, and it's still really good!)

BLT SANDWICH
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. This recipe is for the classic BLT sandwich you know and love: bacon, lettuce and tomato nestled between two slices of toasted and mayo-schmeared white bread.
