Main Ingredients

Method

Preparing the Mayo Spread

  1. 1

    Make the Mayo Spread

    In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated. Set aside.

Cooking the Bacon

  1. 2

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy, about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking. Once done, transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.

Assembling the BLT

  1. 3

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Toast the bread slices lightly in a toaster or on a skillet. On one slice of toasted bread, spread a generous amount of the mayo spread. Layer with crispy bacon, followed by lettuce leaves and slices of tomato. Top with another slice of toasted bread, spread side down. Cut in half and serve immediately.
