Main Ingredients

Method

Prepare the Mayo Spread

  1. 1

    Mix Ingredients

    In a medium bowl, combine the mayonnaise, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well mixed. Set aside.

Cook the Bacon

  1. 2

    Cook Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until they are crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Flip them halfway through cooking for even crispiness. Once done, transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.

Prepare the Vegetables

  1. 3

    Slice Tomatoes

    While the bacon is cooking, wash the tomatoes and slice them into 1/4-inch thick slices.

  2. 4

    Prepare Lettuce

    Wash the lettuce leaves thoroughly and pat them dry with a paper towel. Tear them into smaller pieces if necessary.

Assemble the BLT

  1. 5

    Toast Bread

    Toast the slices of bread until golden brown if desired.

  2. 6

    Layer Ingredients

    Spread a generous amount of the mayo mixture on two slices of the toasted bread. Layer with lettuce, followed by tomato slices, and finally the crispy bacon. Top with the remaining bread slices.
