Ingredients

  • 8 slices Sweet and Spicy Maple Bacon, click the link to go to the recipe
  • 4 slices white bread, a heartier bread is recommended, as it will hold up better
  • 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 4 to 6 leaves iceberg lettuce
  • 2 small tomatoes, sliced about ¼ inch thick (I use tomatoes that are about 2 inches in diameter)
  • salt, to taste
  • black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  • Make the Sweet and Spicy Maple Bacon according to the recipe instructions. Please click the link to go to the recipe.
  • When the bacon is out of the oven and resting, lightly toast the bread (you can do this in a toaster, toaster oven, air fryer, under the broiler...whichever method you prefer).
  • Evenly spread 1 tablespoon of the mayonnaise on each slice of toasted bread (one side).

To Assemble Each Sandwich:

  • Place half of the lettuce on top of the mayonnaise on one slice of toasted bread (tear or fold the lettuce leaves as needed to better fit the sandwich).
  • Arrange half of the tomato slices on top of the lettuce; season with salt and pepper.
  • Arrange half of the maple bacon slices on top of the tomatoes (I like to cut my bacon slices in half so they fit the sandwich better).
  • Top the sandwich with a second piece of toasted bread (mayonnaise side down).
  • Slice each sandwich in half, serve immediately and enjoy!

Recipe Notes

  • The prep and cook times shown above include the time for cooking the maple bacon.
  • You want to just lightly toast the bread when making BLTs; it should be lightly golden rather than dark, and it should be a little crisp on the outside but not all the way through.
    • If you toast it too much, beware! You run the risk of the bread becoming too crumbly and falling apart while you are eating the sandwich (not to mention that it can wreak havoc with the roof of your mouth).
  • Please refer to the post for additional tips, information on substitutions and variations, and serving suggestions.
