BLT
The basic classic: bacon, lettuce, and tomato -- nothing fancy, just delicious. (I personally use fake vegetarian bacon these days, and it's still really good!)

JUICY BLT
The success of a BLT hangs in its balance of salt, acid, lusciousness and crunch. This version is perfect, with a generous swipe of mayonnaise on each slice of toast, followed by a drizzle of olive oil, tomatoes marinated in red wine vinegar and salt, butter lettuce leaves and thick-cut bacon. Squash this closed and eat while the bacon is still warm. BLTs are often associated with summer, but the vinegar here coaxes flavor and brings brightness to hothouse tomatoes, turning it into a sandwich for all seasons.

Steps:
- Working in batches if necessary, fry bacon in a large skillet over high heat until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a large cutting board.
- While bacon cooks, slice tomato crosswise into thin rounds. Transfer to a plate and marinate with red wine vinegar, 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt and pepper.
- Spread toast generously with mayonnaise on one side, follow with remaining 1/2 tablespoon olive oil.
- Divide the tomatoes with some of their vinegar marinade among 2 slices of toast. Top with the lettuce.
- Lay the bacon on the remaining slices of toast. Form sandwiches by piling the bacon-topped slices on top of the remaining toasts. Squeeze to close, cut in half and serve immediately.
Tips:
- Use ripe, in-season tomatoes. This will ensure that your BLT is packed with flavor.
- Choose thick-cut bacon. This will give your BLT a satisfying crunch.
- Cook your bacon until it is crispy. This will help to prevent it from becoming soggy when you add it to your sandwich.
- Use a good quality mayonnaise. This will make a big difference in the overall flavor of your sandwich.
- Add some extras to your BLT. Some popular options include avocado, cheese, and a fried egg.
Conclusion:
The BLT is a classic sandwich for a reason. It is simple to make, yet incredibly delicious. With its combination of crispy bacon, ripe tomatoes, and creamy mayonnaise, the BLT is a sandwich that is sure to please everyone. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy lunch or dinner option, give the BLT a try. You won't be disappointed.
