Tips
- Make it only in summer with ripe tomatoes: a hard winter tomato ruins the whole sandwich.
- Salt the sliced tomato for 2-3 minutes so it has more flavour.
- Bacon can also be baked: on a baking-paper-lined tray at 200 °C for 12-15 minutes, and it comes out flat and crisp.
- Always toast the bread, otherwise the tomato soaks it through.
Frequently asked questions
Can it be made with turkey bacon?
Yes, it's thinner and less fatty, but dries out faster, so cook it for a shorter time.
What else can go in a BLT?
The version with avocado is known as a BLTA, and egg or cheese are also common additions.
