How to make a classic BLT - bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwich. These are easy, fast and can be made healthier with turkey bacon, whole grain bread and light mayo - or just eaten as is!

Ingredients

  • 1 poundgood-quality thick sliced bacon ((i use kirkland brand))
  • 3 largebeefsteak tomatoes
  • ½ cupmayonnaise ((we use hellman's))
  • 8slices of your favorite bread
  • 8 largeleaves of butter leaf lettuce
  • salt and pepper to taste

Directions

To cook the bacon

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 375 °F.

  2. 2

    Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Lay the bacon strips in a SINGLE layer on the parchment lined baking sheet.

  3. 3

    Bake until the bacon is crispy, about 25-35 minutes, depending on its thickness. When the bacon is ready, transfer it to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.

To assemble the sandwiches

  1. 1

    Toast all of the bread slices until lightly toasted. Slather each slice of bread with mayo to your liking ( I love a TON of mayo on mine!).

  2. 2

    To assemble the sandwiches, layer the tomatoes, bacon, and lettuce on four pieces of toast.

  3. 3

    Salt and pepper to your liking and then top each sandwich with the remaining slices of bread.

  4. 4

    Slice the sandwiches in half or in triangles and serve.
