First recipe! B.A.L.T stands for Bacon, Avocado, Lettuce and Tomato. I'm a regular bacon sandwich enjoyer so this one's not too out there. I did just get back from the shops with the goods though and i'm RAVENOUS, so lets get to it.
I think my bacon usually comes out better when I grill it, but im hungry now and i want the control i want the power so ill fry them.
It doesn't say to toast the bread or not, but with all these moist ingredients it feels like toasted bread would make it way better. We're making GOURMET sandwiches here!
"mayo thinned with lemon juice" ok so ill just mix mayo and lemon together in a ramekin.
The ramekin was a bad choice... its a funny shape so its weirdly hard to get sauce back out of it with a knife, I ended up using a slice of tomato as a makeshift spatula.
Bacon layer! I'm going to do these in order of the acronym. It's not a TABL. I'ts not a LBAT. Dyslexics just trust me on this one.
I just bought this "ripe and ready to eat" avocado and you know what... its ripeness seems debatable.
These vegetables are fresh but also firm... im starting to regret doing these in the order, they are very slippery this way around.
I'm usually a "tomatoes in sandwiches" skeptic, i think it makes sandwiches too wet. But you can't have L.G.B.T. without the T. The same logic applies here.
It's the most unwieldy and slippery bacon sandwich i've ever made! I think it actually would have been improved if I changed the order of letters a bit. It was the right call to toast the bread, the tomatoes made the whole thing sooo wet. I'd have probably enjoyed it a lot less with soggy bread. Normally I have bacon sandwiches with lettuce/rocket and brown sauce which makes them more bitter and sweet... but this lemon mayo combined with all the fresh vegetables and tomato... it tastes so fresh and juicy! To me this is really like a club sandwich, its a more refreshing and zesty way to bacon sandwich, and I see the appeal.
