LOBSTER BLTS
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Place a baking rack on a sheet pan and lay the bacon on the rack in a single layer. Roast the bacon for 15 to 20 minutes, until browned. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels and set aside.
- Meanwhile, for the dressing, whisk together the mayonnaise, ketchup, relish, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl and set aside. Slice the avocados crosswise 1/4 inch thick, place the slices in a bowl with the lemon juice, toss gently, and set aside.
- To assemble, place 4 slices of toast on a board and slather them generously with the dressing. On each sandwich, place first a lettuce leaf, then a layer of avocado, then a slice of tomato. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Cut a slice of bacon in half and place both halves on the tomato. Top with a quarter of the lobster. Generously spread more sauce on the remaining 4 slices of toast and place them, sauce side down, on the sandwiches. Serve immediately.

Succulent lobster replaces the lettuce in this luxurious take on the classic BLT. Hard-boiled eggs and avocado add heft to the sandwich (and welcome pops of color to the serving platter!).

Steps:
- In a large, deep pot lined with a steamer basket, bring 1 inch of water to a boil. Drop lobsters headfirst into pot; cover, reduce heat to medium, and steam until shells are bright red, 12 to 16 minutes, depending on size and shell thickness. Transfer to a tray; let cool slightly. Remove meat and cut into 1/2-inch slices.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place bread on baking sheets and bake, flipping once, until lightly toasted, 10 to 12 minutes. Arrange tomatoes, lobster meat, eggs, avocados, basil, and toast on a large platter. Drizzle tomatoes with mignonette. Stir together butter and lemon juice; season with kosher salt and pepper and drizzle over lobster. For each sandwich, spread mayonnaise on toast, then top with tomato, lobster, avocado, egg, and basil. Sprinkle with flaky salt. Serve with more mignonette over top, if desired.

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.

LOBSTER BLTS
Steps:
- Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Add the lobster tails and boil until the shells are bright red and the lobster is just cooked through, about 7 minutes. Drain and submerge in a bowl of ice water to cool.
- Using kitchen shears, remove the shells by the underside down the middle and then cutting the top. Pull out the meat, rinsing or wiping off any residual shell fragments, and dice into 1/2-inch pieces.
- Put the bacon in a cold, large skillet and cook over medium heat, turning occasionally, until crisp and browned, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain on a paper-towel-lined plate.
- In a medium bowl, stir together the 1/3 cup mayonnaise, shallots, celery, capers, vinegar and lemon zest and juice. Fold in the diced lobster. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Lay out the bread slices on a work surface and spread each with 1/2 tablespoon mayonnaise. Top half of the slices with 2/3 cup lobster salad, 2 slices bacon and 2 tomato slices. Season the tomatoes with salt and pepper. Top with a piece of lettuce and cover with the remaining bread slices.
- Slice the sandwiches in half, securing each half with a frilly toothpick.

- Use a good quality mayonnaise: The mayonnaise is an important part of the sandwich, so make sure to use a good quality one. Look for a mayonnaise that is made with real eggs and oil, and avoid brands that contain a lot of additives.
- Toast the bread: Toasting the bread will help it hold up to the juicy sandwich fillings. You can toast the bread in a toaster, on a griddle, or even in a skillet.
- Add your favorite toppings: Feel free to add your favorite toppings to the sandwich, such as lettuce, tomato, onion, or avocado. You can also add a drizzle of hot sauce or a sprinkle of cheese.
