Since there are so few ingredients, going low-fat on any of them would really compromise the flavor. This should only be made in the summer when tomatoes are perfectly ripe. This makes two sandwiches.

Steps:
- Season the tomato slices with salt and pepper and allow to rest on paper towels to absorb liquid.
- In a large cast iron skillet, cook the bacon until crisp (about 15-20 minutes) and drain on a paper towel.
- Pour off the bacon fat (but save it for other recipes!) leaving a tiny coating of fat in the pan. Over a very low heat, put the slices of bread in the skillet and warm/toast them on both sides until lightly browned (about 3-4 minutes total).
- Remove bread from the skillet and, for each sandwich, top one bread slice with 2 tomatoes, 3-4 slices bacon, 3 lettuce leaves, and 1 tbsp dressing; top with the other bread slice and serve immediately.
Tips:
- For the best BLT, start with fresh, high-quality ingredients. Look for ripe tomatoes, crisp lettuce, and thick-cut bacon.
- Use a good quality mayonnaise. Avoid brands that contain a lot of fillers or additives.
- Toast the bread for a crispy sandwich. This will help it hold up to the juicy tomato and bacon.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of bread. A sourdough or whole wheat bread can add a nice flavor to the sandwich.
- If you don't have any bacon on hand, you can use crispy chicken or ham as a substitute.
- Add a slice of cheese to the sandwich for an extra layer of flavor. Cheddar, mozzarella, or provolone are all good options.
Conclusion:
The BLT is a classic sandwich for a reason. It's simple to make, but it's packed with flavor. With a few fresh ingredients and a little bit of effort, you can make a BLT that will rival anything you'd find at a restaurant.
