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.

1 tbsp. Hellmann's real mayonnaise, big spoonful
6 Unsmoked back bacon
5 slices tomato
1 Iceberg lettuce leaf

INSTRUCTIONS

1
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
2
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
3
Then stack your unsmoked back bacon directly over the mayonnaise, building up a layer of bacon
4
Cut 5 slices of tomato and place over the bacon - but try to catch some of the residue using kitchen paper
