Make the Best BLT Ever With These Easy Hacks
Ah, the BLT. Classic, crowd pleasing, and you’ve probably had the recipe nailed for years—right? Bacon, lettuce, tomato, mayo; it doesn’t get more simple than that. However, there’s more to making the perfect BLT than you might have thought.
These super simple hacks from Buzzfeed will help you take your sandwich game to an entirely new plane. Can you say… bacon weave?
The first trick to making a truly next-level BLT lies in the bread. Rather than popping your slices in the toaster, resulting in the dry, crumby bread you’re used to, try coating the bread in mayo and frying it in a pan to a perfect, golden-brown finish.
And, as any seasoned BLT lover knows, the quality really comes down to the meat. By weaving the bacon strips together into a square, you ensure a mouthful of porky goodness in every bite.
To up your bacon prowess even more, bake it at 400 degrees for 15 minutes, giving you more crisp and less grease than your average fried variety.
After that, you know the drill. Layer away to your heart’s content—bonus points if you add avocado into the mix—and get ready to dig in to the best BLT of your life.
