THE WORLD'S BEST B L T SANDWICH

The World's Best B L T Sandwich image

So simple, and yet so many subtle differences transform "good" to "world's best." the way a sandwich is assembled is key to how good it tastes. A gread sandwich is never dry (too bready). I pull out and discard all the soft white centers from baguettes, leaving two cano-shaped halves. This hollowed out bread is then packed full and doused with a generous splash of "house" dressing. Closing one of these sandwiches is like shutting an overpacked suitcase!

1 head red leaf lettuce, leaves separated,washed,and dried
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
3 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon soy sauce

Steps:

First make the house dressing, by combining all ingredients in a blender except for the olive oil.
With the motor running, very slowly drizzle in the olive oil and mix until it is fully combined.
Under a broiler or on a griddle, lightly toast the inside of the baguette.
Combine the mayonnaise and pesto.
Spread the pesto mayonnaise all over the inside of both halves of the baguette.
Lay the bacon along the length of the bottom half of the bread.
Lay the tomato slices on top of the bacon and drizzle with the house dressing.
Fill the remaining cavity with the lettuce leaves.
Close the sandwich tightly.
Cut on the diagonal with a sharp serrated knife into 2 to 4 pieces.
You may need toothpicks to keep the sandwiches together.

Tips:

Use thick-cut bacon: It will provide a more substantial bite and hold up better in the sandwich.
Cook the bacon until it is crispy: This will give it a nice smoky flavor and prevent it from being chewy.
Use ripe tomatoes: They will be more flavorful and juicy.
Toast the bread: This will help it hold up to the sandwich's ingredients and prevent it from getting soggy.
Spread mayonnaise on both sides of the bread: This will help to keep the sandwich moist and flavorful.
Add a layer of lettuce: This will add some freshness and crunch to the sandwich.
Season the sandwich with salt and pepper to taste: This will help to bring out the flavors of the other ingredients.

The perfect BLT sandwich is a classic for a reason. It is simple to make, yet it is packed with flavor. By following these tips, you can make the best BLT sandwich you have ever tasted.
