BACON, LETTUCE AND PLUM SANDWICHES



Bacon, Lettuce and Plum Sandwiches image

An unlikely combination indeed, bacon, lettuce, and, yes, plums, can go together. This Melissa Clark recipe first appeared in The Times in 2009, when, amid a tomato shortage, she decided to swap in plums in this beloved sandwich recipe. The result "was as delectable and juicy as a B.L.T.," she wrote, "but sweeter and brighter tasting, with the brawny flavor of good, crisp bacon melding with the honeyed fruit." Try it at the height of the season, when plums are as juicy as tomatoes themselves.

THE BEST BLT (BACON, LETTUCE, AND TOMATO) SANDWICH



The Best BLT (Bacon, Lettuce, and Tomato) Sandwich image

Use the best tomatoes. Put away the fancy bread. And most importantly: Don't mess with it.

Provided by J. Kenji López-Alt

Categories     Lunch     Quick and Easy     Sandwiches     Sandwich

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 strips thick-cut, naturally cured bacon (see note)
2 slices high-quality sandwich bread, such as shokupan
2 tablespoons (30ml) homemade or store-bought mayonnaise (see note)
1 1/2 cups finely shredded iceberg lettuce (see note)
4 thick slices ripe tomato (see note)
Coarse sea salt, such as fleur de sel or Maldon
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Place a griddle or skillet over medium-low heat. Add bacon and place a bacon press, skillet, or masonry trowel on top of it to keep it flat as it cooks. Cook until lightly browned on first side, about 5 minutes, then flip, cover again, and continue cooking until bacon is browned on both sides and fat has rendered, about 3 minutes longer. Transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate and set aside.
  • Place bread on same skillet or griddle and toast in bacon fat over medium-low heat, swirling occasionally, until evenly browned on first side. Flip and brown second side.
  • Lay toasted bread on a work surface and spread mayonnaise on both top faces. Divide lettuce evenly between both pieces of bread. Layer tomato slices on 1 piece of bread and sprinkle generously with coarse salt and freshly ground pepper.
  • Break bacon slices in half and layer them onto the sandwich in 2 layers of 3 half slices each, alternating the orientation of bacon in each layer for more structural stability. Close sandwich and cut in half diagonally. Serve immediately.

BACON, LETTUCE, AND TOMATO WITH MAYONNAISE



Bacon, Lettuce, and Tomato with Mayonnaise image

This American classic is available at deli counters year-round, but at 'wichcraft, it's a seasonal sandwich served only when local tomatoes are at their peak. For us, this is a tomato sandwich, with crisp bacon (be sure it's good quality!) and Bibb lettuce serving almost as condiments. We use a thick slice of tomato, say 1/2 inch, well seasoned with sea salt, really good pepper, and even a little olive oil. This is one of the sandwiches for which architecture matters, so please pay attention to the assembly instructions. For a special kick, rub a peeled garlic clove over the bread before assembling. A mix of heirloom tomatoes is ideal, combining colors and tones, sweetness and acidity. Imagine a slice of red plum, a slice of green zebra, and a slice of German yellow: summer in a sandwich.

Yield makes 4 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 pound thick-cut bacon
8 slices country bread
4 tablespoons Mayonnaise (page 176)
1 pound ripe heirloom or beefsteak tomatoes, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds (see Note)
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 large leaves of Bibb lettuce

Steps:

  • In a heavy skillet, over medium-high heat, cook the bacon until golden brown and crisp on both sides. Transfer to paper towels to drain. Toast the bread on one side only. Evenly spread the mayonnaise on the toasted side of 4 slices of bread. Place the tomatoes on top of the mayo, making sure that the slices don't overlap and the surface of the bread is covered. Season the tomatoes with salt and pepper. Place the bacon over the tomatoes, followed by the lettuce. Close the sandwiches with the remaining 4 bread slices, toasted side down. Carefully cut into halves and serve.
  • Sit the tomato stem side down on the counter and using a very sharp knife, slice it horizontally to prevent the juices from running out.

  • Use thick-cut bacon. This will ensure that the bacon is crispy and not chewy.
  • Cook the bacon until it is crispy. This will help to prevent the bacon from becoming soggy when it is added to the sandwiches.
  • Use a variety of lettuce. This will add flavor and texture to the sandwiches.
  • Spread the mayonnaise on both sides of the bread. This will help to keep the sandwiches moist and prevent the bread from becoming soggy.
