Step 1: Prepare the Bacon

1. Cook the bacon: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Flip occasionally for even crispiness.
   Pro Tip: Cook the bacon on a baking sheet in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes for perfectly flat, crispy slices.
2. Drain the bacon on paper towels and set aside.

Step 2: Toast the Bread

Lightly toast the bread slices in a toaster or on a griddle until golden and crispy.

Step 3: Make the Spread

In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Adjust seasoning to your taste. This spread adds a creamy, tangy flavor to elevate your BLT.

Step 4: Assemble the Sandwich

1. Spread the prepared sauce generously on one side of each bread slice.
2. Layer your toppings:
   • Start with a leaf of lettuce to keep the bread from getting soggy.
   • Add tomato slices, seasoned lightly with salt and pepper.
   • Place bacon strips on top.
   • Add avocado slices and/or cheese for extra indulgence.
3. Top with the remaining bread slice, spread-side down.

Step 5: Slice and Serve

Cut the sandwich diagonally for that classic deli look. Serve immediately with your favorite side dish.

Tips for the Ultimate BLT

• Fresh Ingredients Matter: Use the ripest tomatoes, crispest lettuce, and highest-quality bacon you can find. Freshness makes all the difference!
• Bread Choice: Swap standard bread for sourdough, multigrain, or brioche for an elevated flavor and texture.
• Add a Twist: Try adding caramelized onions, a fried egg, or spicy sriracha mayo for a creative spin.

Perfect Pairings

• Potato Chips: Classic, crunchy, and satisfying.
• Soup: A creamy tomato soup makes a great companion for this hearty sandwich.
• Side Salad: Keep it light with a simple green salad or coleslaw.
