About BLT sandwich
The BLT is a classic American sandwich built around bacon, lettuce and tomato. This profile fixes the concise five-ingredient version with toasted bread and mayonnaise rather than avocado, egg or flavoured-aioli adaptations.
Salty, smoky bacon contrasts with juicy tomato and cool lettuce, while mayonnaise rounds the sandwich with creamy tang.
The toast is crisp at the edges, enclosing crackly bacon, leafy lettuce and soft tomato in distinct layers.
