“Blt” Aka Super Sandwich

BLT is a very simple sandwich but it will rock your day. I used to believe that the best one you can get in San Francisco’s Devil’s Teeth Baking Company. But then I made this one at home out of ingredients I got on one of Barcelona’s farmer market.

You can make it simple, just Bacon-Lettuce-Tomato or you can go a bit further and experiment with additions like avocado or egg. But to know what a real BLT is, you need to go with basics first. One is sure – this flavours go perfect together – salty bacon, sweet firm tomato and crispy lettuce. The most important in this sandwich are ingredients, it will be much better with a high quality ones 🙂 You can try a homemade mayonnaise as well (very easy to make).

You will need (for 1):

• 2 bacon stripes
• 1-2 leaves of Romaine lettuce
• 3-4 slices of tomato
• 2 slices of bread
• a bit of an olive oil
• mayonnaise

Bake the bacon (I did it in 150*C, 300*F) to make it crispy. When ready, clean extra fat with a paper towel. Brush slices of bread with a bit of an olive oil on each side and fry on a pan until golden. Cut lettuce and tomato. Spread mayo on both toasts and place on one lettuce, tomato and bacon. Cover with the other slice
