Method

Directions to Prepare Traditional BLT

  1. 1

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Remove from the skillet and drain on paper towels.

  2. 2

    Toast the Bread

    In the same skillet or a toaster, toast the sourdough bread slices until golden brown.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Tomato

    Slice the tomato into medium-thick slices and season with salt and pepper.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on each slice of toasted sourdough. On two of the slices, layer the crispy bacon, lettuce leaves, and tomato slices. Top with the remaining slices of bread, mayo side down.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Cut the sandwiches in half and serve immediately.
