Your BLT Needs This Stealth Bacon
A BLT is a pretty perfect sandwich. I don’t thing I need to explain why the combination of crispy, salty bacon, crunchy lettuce, creamy mayo, and juicy tomatoes taste good together. Each component has a part to play, and they play it oh-so-well, but I think there’s a reason the “B” comes first. People love their bacon, and I’ve got good news for people: There are three (3) ways you can add more bacon to your BLT (to make a BbbLT).
Start with the bread
Toasting the bread for a BLT is a pretty common move. It gives the bread a little more structure, which is helpful if you’re working with particularly juicy tomatoes. But why toast when you can fry—especially when you can fry your bread in bacon grease and infuse it with porky, salty flavor while adding texture?
The procedure—which we’ve covered before—is a simple one:
- Fry your bacon for your BLT as you usually would.
- Place your crisp bacon on some paper towels, and turn your burner down a little (medium is good).
- Fry a piece of white bread in the pan you cooked the bacon, in the delicious drippings. A couple of minutes each side is all you need.
- Move the golden brown, bacon-flavored, griddled bread to a plate and get ready to build your extra-bacon-y BLT.
