THE WORLD'S BEST B L T SANDWICH

Steps:

• First make the house dressing, by combining all ingredients in a blender except for the olive oil.
• With the motor running, very slowly drizzle in the olive oil and mix until it is fully combined.
• Under a broiler or on a griddle, lightly toast the inside of the baguette.
• Combine the mayonnaise and pesto.
• Spread the pesto mayonnaise all over the inside of both halves of the baguette.
• Lay the bacon along the length of the bottom half of the bread.
• Lay the tomato slices on top of the bacon and drizzle with the house dressing.
• Fill the remaining cavity with the lettuce leaves.
• Close the sandwich tightly.
• Cut on the diagonal with a sharp serrated knife into 2 to 4 pieces.
• You may need toothpicks to keep the sandwiches together.

CLASSIC BLT SANDWICH

Steps:

• Cook bacon until crispy, then drain on paper towels.
• Toast the 8 slices of bread.
• Spread 1 tablespoon mayo on each slice of toasted bread. (More or less, to taste).
• Add 1 slice of lettuce to 4 pieces of mayo-spreaded toast.
• Add 2 slices of tomato on top of lettuce.
• Arrange 3 slices of bacon evenly on top of tomato. (Break bacon slices in half to fit, if needed.).
• Add 1 slice of lettuce on top of bacon.
• Put the remaining 4 pieces of mayo-spreaded toast on top to finish the sandwiches.
• Enjoy!
• NOTE: I also like to butter the toast slices before adding the mayo -- higher in fat, but tastier, in my opinion!
