A Classic Sandwich with Flavorful Additions

The Bacon-Lettuce-Tomato (“BLT”) sandwich is a classic lunchtime staple beloved by foodies around the world. This particular recipe elevates the classic to the next level by starting with freshly cooked bacon, juicy tomatoes, and adding a homemade mayonnaise for a deeper flavor burst. The final product is a flavorful sandwich that is perfect for lunch or a light dinner.

Why People Love This Recipe

This BLT recipe takes a classic sandwich to the next level. By baking the bacon crisp and not greasy, and adding homemade mayonnaise, sandwich lovers get the perfect blend of textures and flavors. The result is a sandwich that is beyond ordinary, and is sure to please adults and children alike. And, by using fresh ingredients, the cook can make various adjustments to customize the flavors.

Ways to Make it Gluten-Free

Those who need to avoid gluten can still enjoy this BLT recipe. Many of the ingredients are naturally gluten-free, and the few that potentially contain gluten—such as the bread and the mayonnaise—can be substituted. For instance, gluten-free bread and vegan mayonnaise can be used to create a delicious and safe sandwich.

Making it Vegan

The traditional version of the BLT has two ingredients that contain animal products: the bacon and the mayonnaise. However, the good news is that this sandwich can easily be made vegan with a few simple changes. The bacon can be omitted and replaced with either vegetarian options, or with an add-on of your choice. Furthermore, vegan mayonnaise or tofu-based mayonnaise can be used instead of the traditional mayo. The result is a sandwich that is just as delicious and still vegan-friendly.

Pairing the BLT with Wine

This BLT recipe is not complete without a good pairing of wine! As it is a light and crispy sandwich, a lightly bodied white wine, such as a crisp Riesling, is the perfect accompaniment. The mineral-like tones of the wine ensure that both the food and the wine are balanced and flavorful. Indeed, the combination of this BLT sandwich recipe and a light Riesling is sure to bring happiness to the lunchtime table.
