The BLT Sandwich is a classic favorite that brings together crispy bacon, fresh romaine lettuce, juicy ripe tomato, and creamy homemade mayonnaise on toasted bread. Each bite offers a perfect balance of smoky, savory, and refreshing flavors, making it a delicious and satisfying option for any meal.
Prepare the Bacon:- Cook the bacon slices in a pan over medium heat until crispy. Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess fat.
Toast the Bread:- Toast the bread slices in a toaster until golden brown.
Make the Mayonnaise:- In a bowl, whisk together the egg yolk, mustard, and minced garlic.- Gradually add the sunflower oil while continuously whisking until the mixture thickens.- Stir in the lemon juice.
Assemble the Sandwich:- Spread a generous layer of homemade mayonnaise on each slice of toasted bread.- Place the crispy bacon slices on one slice of bread.- Add the romaine lettuce on top of the bacon.- Layer the tomato slices over the lettuce.- Season the tomatoes with salt and pepper, and drizzle with olive oil.
Finish and Serve:- Close the sandwich with the other slice of bread, mayonnaise side down.- Cut the sandwich in half if desired and serve immediately.
