Ingredients
- 8 slices Favorite bread white, whole wheat, sour dough
- 16 strips bacon cooked until crispy
- 2 large Tomatoes thinly sliced
- 2 cups iceburg or romaine lettuce washed and patted dry
Instructions
- Cook the Bacon: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until it's crispy and golden brown. Place the cooked bacon on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
- Prepare the Bread: Toast the slices of bread until they are lightly browned and crispy. You can use a toaster, oven, or stovetop griddle.
- Assemble the BLT: Lay out 4 slices of toasted bread on a clean surface or plate. Spread a generous amount of mayonnaise on each slice of bread.
- Layer the Ingredients: On 4 slices of bread with mayo, arrange a layer of lettuce leaves, followed by slices of tomato.
- Add Bacon: Place 4 strips of crispy bacon on top of the tomatoes on each sandwich.
- Complete the Sandwich: Top each sandwich with another slice of toasted bread, mayo-side down, to create a sandwich.
- Cut and Serve: Use a sharp knife to cut each BLT sandwich in half diagonally, and they are ready to serve. Enjoy:
