This Next-Level BLT recipe, which calls for crisp bacon, crisp romaine lettuce, ripe tomatoes, and a zesty Dijon mayo spread, will elevate your traditional BLT. Ideal for a light supper or a tasty lunch.
Ingredients: 12 slices of thick-cut bacon. 6 leaves of romaine lettuce. 6 large tomato slices. 12 slices of sourdough bread. 1/2 cup of mayonnaise. 2 tablespoons of Dijon mustard. Salt and pepper to taste.
Instructions: Preheat your oven to 400F 200C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange the bacon slices on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes until crispy. Drain excess fat on paper towels. While the bacon is cooking, mix the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard in a small bowl, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Toast the sourdough bread slices until they are golden brown. Spread the Dijon mayo mixture on one side of each toasted bread slice. Layer the lettuce, tomato slices, and crispy bacon on half of the bread slices. Top with the remaining bread slices to make sandwiches. Cut each sandwich in half diagonally, and secure each half with a toothpick. Serve your Next-Level BLTs immediately, and enjoy!
