How to Make a BLT Sandwich.
The Classic BLT has to be the greatest sandwich ever created and this basic, no-frills BLT sandwich couldn't be easier to make.
Ingredients
-
4 Bacon rashers
-
4 Lettuce leaves
-
1 Tomato
-
4 slices of your favourite bread
-
Sandwich spread (butter, margarine, mayonnaise, cream cheese, etc.)
Instructions
- Cut the bacon rashers into small pieces about 7cm long.
- Cut the lettuce in to small pieces.
- Slice tomato into thin circles.
- Take the pieces of bread and put them in a toaster.
- While the bread is toasting, fry the bacon in a pan. Stop frying when it looks cooked. Do not burn it.
- When the toasted slices are ready, put on the sandwich spread.
- Put the lettuce, tomato slices, and bacon together in the sandwich.
- Cut into triangles and serve.
Notes
- The slices of bread do not need to be toasted, but it makes the sandwich more crunchy.
BLT Sandwich Variations
- Another type of the BLT is the BLO where you use onions not tomatoes.
- Have a BLT Roll instead of a sandwich.
- Use dark rye or multigrain instead of white bread.
- You can mix the lettuce with mayonnaise if you want.
- Try adding grated cheese or a cheese slice.
