BLT Sandwich Recipe

Well known BLT sandwich consisting of unsmoked bacon, lettuce and tomato with a creamy mayonnaise on a medium cut wholemeal bread.

Make the most of this bacon lettuce and tomato sandwich recipe by using Danish unsmoked back bacon, crunchy Iceberg lettuce and juicy tomatoes.

A big spoiler comes from the bread you select, so go for a loaf that has little flavor, to allow the taste of the bacon, lettuce and tomato to come through.

To improve the sandwich a little more, allow it to chill in the fridge - covered in saran wrap - for at least an hour so the salty bacon combines with the mayo for the ultimate BLT sandwich.

PREP:

6 MIN.

COOKING TIME:

10 MIN.

SERVINGS: 1

INGREDIENTS

2 Medium cut wholemeal bread slices

1 tbsp. Hellmann's real mayonnaise, big spoonful

6 Unsmoked back bacon

5 slices tomato

1 Iceberg lettuce leaf

INSTRUCTIONS

Cook up to 6 rashers of bacon in a grill pan in their own fat, using the back of a spatula to press the rashers flat down on the pan surface for even cooking - turning over for 10 minutes or so - and allow to go cold

Now place two slices of medium cut wholemeal bread side by side on the chopping board and on the one slice spread over one big spoonful of Hellmann's mayonnaise

Then stack your unsmoked back bacon directly over the mayonnaise, building up a layer of bacon

Cut 5 slices of tomato and place over the bacon - but try to catch some of the residue using kitchen paper

Take a leaf of crunchy Iceberg lettuce, fold it over multiple times and slice it with a knife for shredded lettuce - then pop on top of bacon and tomato

Finally, pop the top bread slice on and allow to chill in the fridge for an hour before serving
