Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

4 slices excellent quality bread, sliced fairly thick, lightly toasted
softened butter
mayonnaise, Duke's, or your favorite
aged white cheddar, sliced about 1/8" thick
6-8 slices thick-cut bacon, cooked to your liking
4 leaves leaf lettuce, washed and patted dry
1 perfectly ripe heirloom tomatoes at room temperature, sliced 1/4" thick
1 avocado, sliced in /4" slices
kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

Spread each piece of toasted bread with a thin layer of butter and then a generous layer of mayonnaise.
Place the white cheddar on the 2 slices of bread that will be the bottoms. Arrange them so they cover the bread as completely as possible.
Place the bacon on the cheese so you'll be sure to get bacon in every bite. The bacon I used was really huge--about 1 1/2 oz per slice, pre-cooked weight. If you're using grocery store bacon, you may need more slices. And you can also do the bacon weave before cooking to ensure bacon in every bite.
Arrange the leaf lettuce on top of the bacon followed by 3 slices of tomato.
Salt and pepper the tomato and then shingle on the avocado slices, 1/2 avocado per sandwich. Lightly salt and pepper the avocado and top with the top slice of bread. Press down lightly.
Enjoy!

THE WORLD'S BEST B L T SANDWICH

The World's Best B L T Sandwich image

So simple, and yet so many subtle differences transform "good" to "world's best." the way a sandwich is assembled is key to how good it tastes. A gread sandwich is never dry (too bready). I pull out and discard all the soft white centers from baguettes, leaving two cano-shaped halves. This hollowed out bread is then packed full and doused with a generous splash of "house" dressing. Closing one of these sandwiches is like shutting an overpacked suitcase!

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

3 strips thick-cut, naturally cured bacon (see note)
2 slices high-quality sandwich bread, such as shokupan
2 tablespoons (30ml) homemade or store-bought mayonnaise (see note)
1 1/2 cups finely shredded iceberg lettuce (see note)
4 thick slices ripe tomato (see note)
Coarse sea salt, such as fleur de sel or Maldon
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

Place a griddle or skillet over medium-low heat. Add bacon and place a bacon press, skillet, or masonry trowel on top of it to keep it flat as it cooks. Cook until lightly browned on first side, about 5 minutes, then flip, cover again, and continue cooking until bacon is browned on both sides and fat has rendered, about 3 minutes longer. Transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate and set aside.
Place bread on same skillet or griddle and toast in bacon fat over medium-low heat, swirling occasionally, until evenly browned on first side. Flip and brown second side.
Lay toasted bread on a work surface and spread mayonnaise on both top faces. Divide lettuce evenly between both pieces of bread. Layer tomato slices on 1 piece of bread and sprinkle generously with coarse salt and freshly ground pepper.
Break bacon slices in half and layer them onto the sandwich in 2 layers of 3 half slices each, alternating the orientation of bacon in each layer for more structural stability. Close sandwich and cut in half diagonally. Serve immediately.

Yield Makes 1

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

2 slices white sandwich bread, toasted
1 teaspoon unsalted butter, room temperature
1 to 2 romaine or iceberg lettuce leaves
1 vine-ripened tomato, sliced 1/4 inch thick
3 to 4 basil leaves
2 slices thickly cut bacon, cooked
1/2 cup Homemade Mayonnaise

Tips:

Choose the best bread: A classic white bread, a hearty wheat bread, or a flavorful sourdough bread are all great options for a BLT sandwich. Make sure the bread is fresh and sturdy enough to hold up to the fillings.
Use ripe tomatoes: The tomatoes are the star of the show in a BLT sandwich, so make sure they're ripe and juicy. Look for tomatoes that are deep red in color and have no blemishes.
Cook the bacon perfectly: Crispy bacon is essential for a great BLT sandwich. Cook the bacon until it's crispy but not overcooked. You can cook the bacon in a skillet, in the oven, or in the microwave.
Use high-quality mayonnaise: Mayonnaise is the glue that holds a BLT sandwich together. Use a high-quality mayonnaise that's made with fresh eggs and oil. Avoid using low-fat or fat-free mayonnaise, as it will make the sandwich too dry.
Add some extras: Feel free to add some extra ingredients to your BLT sandwich to make it even more delicious. Some popular additions include avocado, cheese, lettuce, and sprouts.

Conclusion:

The BLT sandwich is a classic for a reason. It's simple, delicious, and satisfying.
