This is a sandwich that I crave a lot. 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.
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!
