The Open-Faced BLT Recipe offers a delightful twist on the classic diner sandwich, infusing it with a satisfying crunch and savory flavor that has made it a timeless favorite. Perfect for a quick and easy lunch or a light dinner, this recipe serves one and can be prepared in just 11-20 minutes.
Ingredients:
- 2 slices of Sara Lee® Butter Bread
- 2-3 strips of bacon
- 2 leaves of lettuce
- 1 Roma tomato
- 1 teaspoon of mayonnaise
Directions:
- Begin by preparing the bacon. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until it reaches your desired level of crispiness. This usually takes about 5-7 minutes, flipping the bacon occasionally to ensure even cooking. Once cooked, transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain off any excess grease.
- While the bacon is cooking, wash and dry the lettuce leaves and Roma tomato. Slice the tomato into thin rounds, and set aside.
- Take one slice of Sara Lee® Butter Bread and spread a generous teaspoon of mayonnaise evenly over the surface. This will act as a creamy base for the sandwich, adding moisture and flavor.
- Layer the prepared ingredients on top of the mayonnaise-covered bread slice. Begin with the lettuce leaves, arranging them in a single layer to cover the bread completely. Next, lay the crispy bacon strips over the lettuce, followed by the sliced Roma tomato.
- For an extra burst of flavor, you can season the tomato slices with a pinch of salt and pepper, enhancing their natural sweetness and acidity.
- Once all the ingredients are layered on the bread slice, it’s time to assemble the sandwich. Carefully place the second slice of Sara Lee® Butter Bread on top of the piled ingredients, creating an open-faced sandwich.
- Slice the sandwich in half diagonally for a classic presentation, or leave it whole for a more rustic appeal.
- Serve your Open-Faced BLT immediately, either as is or accompanied by your favorite side dishes such as potato chips, coleslaw, or a crisp pickle spear.
This recipe celebrates the timeless appeal of the BLT sandwich while adding a touch of sophistication with the open-faced presentation. With its crispy bacon, fresh lettuce, juicy tomato, and creamy mayo, every bite is a delicious combination of flavors and textures that will leave you craving more. Enjoy this classic dish any time of day for a satisfying meal that never goes out of style.
