The platonic ideal of this inimitable sandwich.

Provided by Katie Workman

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.

NOT YOUR ORDINARY BLT SANDWICH

There's nothing better than fresh tomatoes in season & there's nothing better than this creative BLT variation. It makes a great lunch, potluck pleaser, patio party winner or picnic favorite. Recipe source is Florida Tomato Committee, altho I amended the original recipe slightly. Enjoy! .. Edited to Add -- This recipe was included for Greece in ZWT6 due to its use of feta cheese as a primary ingredient. :-)

Time 40m

Yield 4 Sandwiches, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

1 lb tomatoes (fresh)
4 hard rolls (4-inch round)
3/4 cup caesar salad dressing (creamy)
3 cups iceberg lettuce (chopped)
8 slices bacon (fried crisp & crumbled)
1/4 cup green onion (sliced)
1/4 cup feta cheese (crumbled)

Steps:

Preheat oven to 400°F.
Use tomatoes held at room temp till fully ripe. Quarter tomatoes & remove the seedy moist centers so only the "meat" of the tomato is used. Coarsely chop tomato meat, place in a lrg bowl & set aside.
Slice off the top of each hard roll & remove the center for a later use. Brush inside of rolls (& their tops) w/2 tbsp of the creamy dressing. Bake till lightly toasted (about 5 min) & set aside.
Add the lettuce, bacon, green onions, feta cheese & remaining Caesar dressing to the bowl w/the tomatoes & toss till well-mixed.
Spoon BLT mix into toasted bread shells. Place tops of rolls over the filling & serve immediately.
NOTES: If you want to do the prep ahead, but serve later -- delay the final step till just prior to serving. Sliced avocado also makes a nice "extra" w/this sandwich.

Okay, I know that when you read this you are probably going to say "GROSS", but I've been making this sandwich over the summer and everyone who has tried it likes it. It is different! I got the recipe from the National Watermelon Board (who knew there was such a thing!?!)
