Lay bacon slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake 15–20 minutes until crispy and golden. Remove and drain on paper towels.
2. Toast the Bread
Lightly toast your bread slices for extra crunch and stability.
3. Prepare the Layers
Spread mayonnaise evenly on one side of each slice of bread.
Layer lettuce first (this keeps the bread from getting soggy).
Add tomato slices and sprinkle lightly with salt and black pepper.
Top with crispy bacon slices.
4. Assemble
Close the sandwich with the second slice of bread.
Cut diagonally for that classic BLT look.
5. Serve
Serve immediately while the bacon is warm and crispy. Pair with crispy fries or a pickle spear for the full experience.
💡 Tips for the Ultimate BLT
Use ripe, juicy tomatoes — they’re the heart of a BLT.
For extra flavor, try smoked or peppered bacon.
If you want it fancy, add avocado slices or a fried egg for a brunch twist.
Toast the bread just enough so it’s crunchy but not too hard — it should support all the layers.
If you want, I can also give you a quick 10-minute skillet BLT version that’s perfect when you’re short on time but still crave that perfect crunch and flavor. Do you want me to do that?
