Categories     Main Course

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 slices thick-cut bacon
4 to 8 tender green lettuce leaves (washed and spun dry)
1 ripe heirloom tomato (cut into 1/2-inch thick slices (if tomatoes are not in season, use small on the vine tomatoes instead))
2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
Kosher salt
Ground black pepper
4 slices good quality (sturdy whole wheat bread (I like sourdough))
4 tablespoons nonfat plain Greek yogurt
1/2 ripe avocado (sliced)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • For easy clean up, line a baking sheet with foil. Place a baking wire rack on top, coat the rack with non-stick spray, then arrange the bacon on the rack in a single layer. Bake for 15 to 25 minutes, until the bacon is crisp. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and pat dry.
  • Arrange the tomato slices in a single layer and drizzle with the vinegar. Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper.
  • Towards the end of the bacon's cooking time, place the bread slices on a sheet pan (or directly on the oven rack) and toast in the oven for 5 minutes. Flip the slices over and toast for 1 additional minute, until the bread is evenly browned. Then place 2 slices of the toasted bread on a cutting board or plate. Spread each slice with 1 tablespoon of yogurt.
  • Place a layer of lettuce on top. Add the tomatoes on top of the lettuce, lightly shaking off excess juice.
  • Add 3 slices of bacon (tear the bacon in half as needed to help it fit).
  • Add the avocado, then sprinkle with an additional pinch of salt and pepper. Spread each of the remaining slices of toasted bread with 1 tablespoon of yogurt. Place, yogurt-side down, on top. Cut the BLT sandwiches in half and serve.

What is BLT Spread?
First, it's important to understand what BLT spread actually is. Rather than a sandwich with bacon, lettuce, and tomato simply stacked on bread, BLT spread is a creamy mixture of those same ingredients that can be used as a dip or a spread for crackers or bread. It's versatile, flavorful, and perfect for parties or as a quick snack.
Alice's BLT Spread Recipes
Now, let's take a look at some of Alice's unique and delicious BLT spread recipes:
1. Classic BLT Spread
This recipe is a great starting point for those who are new to BLT spread or just want to stick with the classic flavors. It combines crispy bacon, diced tomatoes, shredded lettuce, and a creamy base of mayo, sour cream, and spices. Spread it on your favorite type of bread, crackers or use it as a dip for vegetables.
2. Cheesy BLT Spread
For cheese lovers, this recipe combines the classic flavors of a BLT with the delicious creaminess of melted cheese. Alice takes the classic recipe and adds a layer of shredded cheddar cheese, toasted breadcrumbs, and a dash of hot sauce to give it a bit of a kick. This spread is especially tempting when served warm.
3. Avocado BLT Spread
Here Alice swaps out the mayo and sour cream of the classic recipe for creamy mashed avocado. The rest of the ingredients remain the same—crispy bacon, diced tomato and shredded lettuce, but this version has a fresh, summery flavor. Perfect for the health-conscious or those who are looking for a vegan version.
4. Ranch BLT Spread
Alice's ranch BLT spread puts a tangy and flavorful twist on the classic recipe. She uses a combination of sour cream, mayo, and ranch seasoning to create a base of creamy and savory goodness. Diced tomatoes and crispy bacon are then added along with a generous helping of shredded cheddar cheese for a truly indulgent dish.
5. Spicy BLT Spread
This recipe adds a little heat to the classic BLT with the addition of jalapeño peppers. Alice blends together mayo, sour cream, diced jalapeños, and spices before folding in crispy bacon, diced tomato, and shredded lettuce. The result is a creamy, spicy dip that's perfect for those who like their food with a bit of a kick.
Why You Need to Try Alice's BLT Spread Recipes
At first glance, it may seem like making a BLT spread is simply a matter of combining bacon, lettuce, and tomato with a creamy base, but Alice's recipes will show you just how wrong that notion is. By adding unique ingredients like cheese, avocado, and jalapeño peppers, she's taken the classic sandwich and transformed it into something new and exciting.

Valuable Tips for Making Alice's BLT Spread Recipes

Making Alice's BLT Spread Recipes is easy, but there are some tips you should keep in mind to make the greatest dish possible. Here are some of the valuable tips:
1. Choose the Right Ingredients
The first key step to making Alice's BLT Spread Recipes is to select the right ingredients. Be sure to choose the freshest and highest quality ingredients that are available to you. The bread you choose can have any flavor, but for best results, use whole wheat or sourdough bread.
2. Cook the Bacon Well
The second tip for making Alice's BLT Spread Recipes is to cook the bacon well. The bacon needs to be crispy and well done before it's added to the dish. Cooking the bacon slowly over low heat is the key to achieving the perfect crispiness.
3. Use Ripe Tomatoes
When making Alice's BLT Spread Recipes, it's important to use ripe tomatoes that are firm and still have a bright, red color. Additionally, avoid placing the tomatoes in the fridge, since it can impact their taste and texture.
4. Use Fresh Lettuce
Using fresh lettuce is also important for achieving the best results for this dish. One option is to use Butter lettuce, which is a great addition to BLT spreads because it's tender, with a slightly sweet and nutty flavor. Another option is to use romaine or iceberg lettuce.
5. Add Seasonings
It's important to add seasonings to make the dish as flavorful as possible. You can add herbs like basil or thyme, along with garlic powder, onion powder, or even some smoked paprika.
6. Consider Using a Food Processor
While you can chop the ingredients by hand, using a food processor is an easy way to blend all the ingredients together to create the spread's desired texture. As a result, it will save you some time and create a smoother spread.
7. Store Properly
Store your finished BLT spread properly in the fridge to keep it fresh for an extended time. Be sure to keep it in an airtight container, and it should last for about 3 to 4 days.
8. Experiment with Different Spices and Herbs
This recipe is great for experimentation, so don't be afraid to try out different spices and herbs. Adding a little bit of cayenne or even chipotle peppers can give your BLT spread a spicy kick. You can also experiment with different types of herbs and spices to get the flavor you want.
9. Consider Making it a Wrap
BLT spreads can be a great sandwich spread or as an appetizer dip for veggie sticks or crackers. But, another great way to have them is as a wrap. Add your cooked chicken or turkey and the BLT spread, wrap it with lettuce or tortilla, and you have a delicious and portable lunch ready to go.
10. Share with Friends and Family
Finally, share your newly discovered BLT spread recipe with your family and friends. They'll appreciate the tastiness and simplicity of this amazing recipe. Overall, Alice's BLT spread recipe is a perfect and versatile recipe to have, and the tips above will enable you to make it in a way that's perfect for your preferences.
