Step 1: Prepare the Bacon
- 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. - 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
- Spread the prepared sauce generously on one side of each bread slice.
- 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.
- 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.
