BLT Sandwiches

BLT sandwiches are classic. Easy to make, delicious to eat, these sandwiches are a perfect meal. Mom made these sandwiches every now and then. They were not made for any special occasion, but usually, just on a regular weeknight.

The name of these sandwiches tells it all: bacon, lettuce and tomato. Of course, it is easy to add other ingredients. For these sandwiches, I also added some avocado or egg or cheese. Some use butter instead of mayo. I recommend toasting the bread to add a bit of extra crunch to the sandwich. Depending upon how high you pile on the ingredients, you will want to use a sturdy bread. I used honey oat bran bread from my local farmers market. The sandwiches were delicious.

BLT Sandwiches 

• Bacon, about 4 slices per sandwich
• lettuce
• sliced tomato
• bread
• mayo
• any extra ingredients

Cook the bacon. I prefer to lay it on a baking sheet and bake it in the oven at 375 for 12 minutes. Meanwhile, toast the bread and prepare the lettuce and tomato. Assemble the sandwiches by spreading mayo on the bread, then piling on the bacon, lettuce and tomato. Enjoy!
