Classic BLT Sandwich
By: Stacky5
Jul 12, 2005
This is a sandwich that I crave a lot. I am just posting it because I couldn't find it posted already on the Zaar...I couldn't believe that! My ex-DH wondered how I make these, so I decided to post it and send him the recipe. Nothing fancy — just the real, simple, unabridged version. UPDATE: After reading Peg629's review, I have tried it that way, with one slice of toast spread with yellow mustard, and I must say it really, really makes an exceptional BLT! Such a subtle difference, yet genuinely makes a superior BLT, in my opinion! (Thank you Peg629 for that awesome suggestion!)
SERVES 4 , 4 sandwiches
Ingredients
- 1/2 lb bacon (approx. 12 slices)
- 8 slices white bread
- 8 leaves iceberg lettuce, fresh and full
- 8 slices of ripened tomatoes
- 8 tablespoons Hellmann's mayonnaise
Directions
1
Cook bacon until crispy, then drain on paper towels.2
Toast the 8 slices of bread.3
Spread 1 tablespoon mayo on each slice of toasted bread. (More or less, to taste).4
Add 1 slice of lettuce to 4 pieces of mayo-spreaded toast.5
Add 2 slices of tomato on top of lettuce.6
Arrange 3 slices of bacon evenly on top of tomato. (Break bacon slices in half to fit, if needed.).7
Add 1 slice of lettuce on top of bacon.8
Put the remaining 4 pieces of mayo-spreaded toast on top to finish the sandwiches.9
Enjoy!10
NOTE: I also like to butter the toast slices before adding the mayo -- higher in fat, but tastier, in my opinion!

Classic is certainly the right word for this perfectly simple and wonderful BLT recipe! This is one of my favorite sandwiches and it just doesn't get better than its original form! Delicious! Thank you for posting it!

Yep this was totally great. I made these as mini sandwiches for a gathering of ladies they all kept going back for more. I followed another reviewers advice and used yellow mustard on one slice. One other tip from me: After slicing the tomatoes, I laid the slices on a stack of paper towels, sprinkled just a little salt on top. Allowed them to sit for a few minutes while I worked on the other parts of the sandwich. Then right before assembly, piled a few other paper towels and a plate on top of the slices and inverted them. This reduced some of the wetness of the tomato and removed most of the bitter seeds. They were awesome. Thanks for sharing this recipe.

Stacky, great again. Just a little trick we use here, mayo on one slice of bread and yellow mustard on the other piece of bread. Trust and try ! LOL...I was given it this way eons ago as a child and have turned many on to this.
