Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

6 pieces thick-cut bacon
8 slices good bread (such as a Pullman loaf)
4 tablespoons mayonnaise (approximately; I use Hellmann's)
Nonstick cooking spray
1 large perfectly ripe tomato (cut into 4 generous slices, or 2 plum tomatoes, cut into 4 lengthwise slices each)
Kosher or coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
Romaine or iceberg lettuce (about 8 sandwich-size pieces)

Steps:

You can either bake your bacon (add 4 to 6 extra minutes to the cooking time for thick cut), or you can heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the bacon for about 6 to 8 minutes, turning it every few minutes until it is nicely crisp, but still pliable. Remove the bacon to paper towels to drain, then cut each slice in half crosswise.
Spread about 1 teaspoon of mayonnaise on 1 side of each piece of bread. Spray a large skillet with nonstick cooking spray and heat over medium heat. In the skillet, place as many slices of bread that will fit, mayo side down, and griddle them up until the mayo side of the bread is nicely browned, about 1 minute. Remove the bread from the skillet, let rest browned side up, and griddle up any remaining slices.
Place 4 of the slices of toast browned side down on a cutting board. Place a tomato on each piece, season lightly with salt and pepper, place 3 half slices of bacon on each slice of tomato, and top with a couple of pieces of lettuce. Generously spread the rest of the mayo on the non-browned side of the remaining slices of bread, and top the sandwiches with them browned side up. You now have a perfect BLT. Read on for some more ideas.
