Classic BLT Sandwich
A classic BLT sandwich is the perfect lunch to make from scratch. Toasted bread, layered with creamy avocado spread, crispy bacon, juicy tomatoes, and of course, fresh lettuce. A BLT sandwich is a timeless lunch for a reason: the flavors go so well together, making for the perfect easy meal.
Ingredients
- 2 slices of white bread
- ½ portion of avocado spread
- 2 thick slices heirloom tomato
- 4 slices of bacon cooked
- 2 slices of lettuce
Instructions
- Toast bread. Toast the bread slices if you prefer them toasted (we do).
- Make avocado sauce. Prepare avocado spread in a container and store in the fridge until ready to use.
- Assemble. Spread the avocado sauce on both sides of the bread slices. Top with tomatoes, bacon, and lettuce.
- Serve. Close the sandwich, serve and enjoy, friends.
Notes
- Avocado spread: Swap avocado spread for mayo or homemade garlic aioli.
- Choose quality bacon. Thick-cut bacon gives a homemade BLT the best flavor and crispy texture.
- Use ripe tomatoes. Since a BLT has simple ingredients, a juicy and flavorful tomato makes a big difference.
- Toast the bread. Toasting is optional, but it adds extra crunch and helps give the sandwich the perfect texture.
