BLT Sandwiches

BLT stands for Bacon, Lettuce and Tomato and is a wonderfully simple combination that always satisfies the taste buds. Be careful not to over-salt the vegetables as the bacon usually provides enough salt for this sandwich.

Ingredients

Instructions

1. Slightly toast the bread, so as to make it just firm to the touch.
2. Fry the bacon rashers until they are crisp, place on paper towel to soak up the extra fat.
3. Mix the mayonnaise and the onion, then spread six slices of the toasted bread with half of the mayonnaise mixture.
4. Put a handful of lettuce onto the six slices of the toasted bread and spread evenly all over the bread. Season with salt and pepper if needed taking care not to over-salt depending on how salty your bacon is.
5. Cut the bacon rashers into three and arrange on top of the lettuce. Place tomato slices on top of the bacon and season if needed.
6. Spread the remaining breads with the other half of the mayonnaise and put on top of the lettuce, bacon and tomato stacks.
7. Cut all sandwiches in half and place an olive secured with a toothpick on each half. Serve while still warm.
