Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

4 slices excellent quality bread, sliced fairly thick, lightly toasted
softened butter
mayonnaise, Duke's, or your favorite
aged white cheddar, sliced about 1/8" thick
6-8 slices thick-cut bacon, cooked to your liking
4 leaves leaf lettuce, washed and patted dry
1 perfectly ripe heirloom tomatoes at room temperature, sliced 1/4" thick
1 avocado, sliced in /4" slices
kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

Spread each piece of toasted bread with a thin layer of butter and then a generous layer of mayonnaise.
Place the white cheddar on the 2 slices of bread that will be the bottoms. Arrange them so they cover the bread as completely as possible.
Place the bacon on the cheese so you'll be sure to get bacon in every bite. The bacon I used was really huge--about 1 1/2 oz per slice, pre-cooked weight. If you're using grocery store bacon, you may need more slices. And you can also do the bacon weave before cooking to ensure bacon in every bite.
Arrange the leaf lettuce on top of the bacon followed by 3 slices of tomato.
Salt and pepper the tomato and then shingle on the avocado slices, 1/2 avocado per sandwich. Lightly salt and pepper the avocado and top with the top slice of bread. Press down lightly.
Enjoy!

THE ULTIMATE BLT SANDWICH

The Ultimate BLT Sandwich image

The platonic ideal of this inimitable sandwich.

Provided by Katie Workman

Categories Main Course

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

6 pieces thick-cut bacon
8 slices good bread (such as a Pullman loaf)
4 tablespoons mayonnaise (approximately; I use Hellmann's)
Nonstick cooking spray
1 large perfectly ripe tomato (cut into 4 generous slices, or 2 plum tomatoes, cut into 4 lengthwise slices each)
Kosher or coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
Romaine or iceberg lettuce (about 8 sandwich-size pieces)

Steps:

You can either bake your bacon (add 4 to 6 extra minutes to the cooking time for thick cut), or you can heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the bacon for about 6 to 8 minutes, turning it every few minutes until it is nicely crisp, but still pliable. Remove the bacon to paper towels to drain, then cut each slice in half crosswise.
Spread about 1 teaspoon of mayonnaise on 1 side of each piece of bread. Spray a large skillet with nonstick cooking spray and heat over medium heat. In the skillet, place as many slices of bread that will fit, mayo side down, and griddle them up until the mayo side of the bread is nicely browned, about 1 minute. Remove the bread from the skillet, let rest browned side up, and griddle up any remaining slices.
Place 4 of the slices of toast browned side down on a cutting board. Place a tomato on each piece, season lightly with salt and pepper, place 3 half slices of bacon on each slice of tomato, and top with a couple of pieces of lettuce. Generously spread the rest of the mayo on the non-browned side of the remaining slices of bread, and top the sandwiches with them browned side up. You now have a perfect BLT. Read on for some more ideas.

THE WORLD'S BEST B L T SANDWICH

The World's Best B L T Sandwich image

So simple, and yet so many subtle differences transform "good" to "world's best." the way a sandwich is assembled is key to how good it tastes. A gread sandwich is never dry (too bready). I pull out and discard all the soft white centers from baguettes, leaving two cano-shaped halves. This hollowed out bread is then packed full and doused with a generous splash of "house" dressing. Closing one of these sandwiches is like shutting an overpacked suitcase!
