How to Make the BEST BLT Sandwich (with Homemade Mayo)

It's an experience you can't miss out on. The lettuce and ripe tomatoes shoot through the saltiness of the bacon and richness of the homemade mayo with crisp, pan-fried bread for the ultimate sandwich!

‍

This used to be my FAVORITE sandwich to make growing up. But I had a problem... I didn't like mayonnaise but I always felt as if the sandwich missed it. And the bread, well, it wasn't as crispy.

‍

So, as I grew older, I knew I had to overcome those issues and find out how to make the best BLT sandwich. And today, I'm releasing all the secrets (all SUPER simple and easy) that I wish someone would've told me years ago! Hope you enjoy :)

How to make a BLT sandwich?

• Toast two slices of bread until crispy and golden.
• Cook or oven bake the bacon until crispy and golden.
• On each slice of bread, add a generous slather of mayonnaise, preferably homemade.
• Add two slices of Bibb lettuce on each slice.
• Add 2-3 thin tomato slices on each slice.
• Add 2-3 slices of bacon on each.
• Carefully fold the two slices together to create one perfect BLT sandwich.

How to make homemade mayonnaise?

1. Whisk together the egg yolk, lemon juice, dijon mustard, and salt in a large bowl to combine. Add the cold water, then mix until frothy, about 30 seconds.
2. Gradually add the olive oil in a slow, steady drizzle as you whisk the mayonnaise mixture. The outcome should be thick and creamy.
