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.

How can you beat this?? All the perfect ingredients are between two slices of lightly toasted bread...the juicy height-of-summer red tomatoes, the crunchy green lettuce leaves, the creamy mayo binding it all together, and, best of all, the incomparable meaty, smoky, salty-sweet flavor of the bacon.

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons minced chives or 2 tablespoons minced scallions
1/2 cup mayonnaise (Hellmann's is the best, and NOT the low-fat kind)
12 slices good-quality bacon
8 slices good-quality white bread, lightly toasted
2 large ripe tomatoes, thickly sliced
fresh ground black pepper
crisp lettuce leaf (Romaine or Iceberg)

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, mix the chives (or scallions) with the mayonnaise.
  • Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat, keeping the slices separate as they cook, until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Remove the bacon from pan with tongs and place on a paper-towel covered plate to drain.
  • Spread one side of all slices of the toast with the mayonnaise. Layer 4 slices of the toast with tomatoes and bacon and grind black pepper over the top, add a lettuce leaf, close the sandwiches with remaining slices of toast, cut in half diagonally, and serve.
