Servings: 2
Cost: $5
Equipment
- 1 cutting board
Ingredients
- 4 slices hearty white bread
- 1/4 cup Mayonnaise or garlic aioli
- 1/2 cup romaine lettuce
- 4 thick slices tomato
- 8 slices cooked bacon
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon grated parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
Instructions
- Slice the tomatoes into 1/4 inch slices and arrange on a platter. Season with the garlic powder, cheese, salt and pepper. Set aside.
- Toast the bread using a toaster or under the broiler for 2-3 minutes each side. Allow the toast to cool for 1 minute. (this step is optional.)
- Spread each slice of bread with 1/4 of the mayonnaise, being sure to cover the entire surface.
- Divide the lettuce between two slices of bread and arrange in a single layer. Top the spinach with two slices of tomato on each piece of bread.
- Arrange four slices of bacon on top of the tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper.
- Place the remaining bread on top of the bacon mayonnaise side down. Serve immediately.
Notes
Best if served soon after assembling.
Amp up the flavor of your BLT sandwich with crushed red pepper flakes or a smear of garlic aioli.
Swap out the usually classic mayonnaise for Kewpie mayo and a kick of umami flavor!
