NOT YOUR ORDINARY BLT SANDWICH
There's nothing better than fresh tomatoes in season & there's nothing better than this creative BLT variation. It makes a great lunch, potluck pleaser, patio party winner or picnic favorite. Recipe source is Florida Tomato Committee, altho I amended the original recipe slightly. Enjoy! .. *Edited to Add* -- This recipe was included for Greece in ZWT6 due to its use of feta cheese as a primary ingredient. :-)

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Use tomatoes held at room temp till fully ripe. Quarter tomatoes & remove the seedy moist centers so only the "meat" of the tomato is used. Coarsely chop tomato meat, place in a lrg bowl & set aside.
- Slice off the top of each hard roll & remove the center for a later use. Brush inside of rolls (& their tops) w/2 tbsp of the creamy dressing. Bake till lightly toasted (about 5 min) & set aside.
- Add the lettuce, bacon, green onions, feta cheese & remaining Caesar dressing to the bowl w/the tomatoes & toss till well-mixed.
- Spoon BLT mix into toasted bread shells. Place tops of rolls over the filling & serve immediately.
- NOTES: If you want to do the prep ahead, but serve later -- delay the final step till just prior to serving. Sliced avocado also makes a nice "extra" w/this sandwich.

EXTRA-CRISPY BLT
Using wavy, thin-cut bacon in a BLT is kind of like putting potato chips in your sandwich: It adds salt and a satisfying crunch when you take a bite. Cook the bacon in the oven (the fastest way to evenly cook a batch), then layer the slices irregularly for more air and optimal texture. Use equal portions of bacon and tomato for a nice balance of crisp and soft, salty and sweet. Thinly sliced iceberg lettuce goes in between the two for freshness and even more crunch, and it helps keep the tomatoes from dampening the bacon. While these steps seem small, together they are the keys to the BLT of your summertime dreams.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a sheet pan with foil, including up the sides. Arrange the bacon in a single layer on the lined sheet pan, overlapping pieces slightly, if necessary, to fit them all on the pan. Transfer to the oven and cook, without flipping, until deep golden brown and curling in spots, 15 to 25 minutes. (You can put the bacon in as the oven heats up; it will help the fat render.) Transfer the cooked bacon to a paper towel-lined plate. (You can fold and curl the pieces onto the plate; this will add more texture to the final sandwich.)
- Meanwhile, season the tomatoes with salt and pepper. Cut four 1/4-inch-thick slabs of the iceberg lettuce crosswise. (Make a wedge salad with the rest.) Toast the bread in the toaster or directly on an empty rack in the oven, flipping halfway through.
- Spread one side of the toasted bread with mayonnaise and/or mustard. Add 2 slices of tomato to half the bread slices. Top with one slab of lettuce, then add the bacon. It will be tricky to lay the bacon flat, and that's good. Arrange them irregularly, so there are pockets of air between the slices.
- Top with the remaining slices of bread. Press down slightly, cut in half and eat right away.
NOT YOUR AVERAGE BLT
When tomatoes are abundant in my garden, I have this sandwich at least once a week. Easy to make, tastes great! Perfect for summer meals when it's too hot to heat up the kitchen with a lot of cooking as bacon can be microwaved if desired.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Look for ripe, juicy tomatoes, crisp lettuce, and thick-cut bacon.
- Toast the bread for a crispy texture. This will help it hold up to the other ingredients.
- Spread mayonnaise or another condiment on the bread before adding the other ingredients. This will help keep the sandwich moist and flavorful.
- Layer the ingredients in the order that you prefer. Some people like to put the tomato on the bottom, while others prefer to put it on top.
- Add a sprinkle of salt and pepper to taste. This will help to enhance the flavors of the other ingredients.
- Serve the sandwich immediately. This will ensure that the bread is still crispy and the ingredients are fresh.
