    My wife and I seem to be eating these once a week.

    – Aldi Black Forest bacon
    – tomatoes marinated in a salted Italian seasoning, rice vinegar, olive oil blend
    – everything but the bagel sourdough
    – I took some homemade Caesar dressing (egg yolks, anchovies and all!) and mixed in some franks red hot

    This was 😘🤌

    A BLT is something I never doctor up.

    Salt and pepper on the tomato is as far as it needs to go imo.

    BLTs have a season.

    A proper BLT made with fresh in season tomatoes and quality bacon doesn’t need doctoring.

    Perhaps you live somewhere where it’s peak tomato season, so carry on and eat them weekly, but In the states we are nowhere near peak tomato season, even if you’re in a state that has a year round growing season.

    Oh easy! Lose the tomato, add turkey, roast beef, mayo, onion, and a red wine vinaigrette.

    I should have started with I don’t like blt’s.

    Bacon Jam, add avocado, grill sourdough bread in bacon grease

    Herbed mayo. Ciabatta roll. Sometimes I don’t have bacon and use crisped prosciutto.

    A thin layer of creamy horseradish on one side, mayo on the other.

    A few things. Toast the bread in the bacon fat. Shred the lettuce and put it on both pieces of bread to catch more drips. Season the tomato before making the sandwich so the salt can have a few mins to get into the tomato.

    If you have a few extra mins, make your own mayo with an egg some oil some garlic and some Dijon and a hand blender.

    Try adding a fried egg. It will become a BELT. My wife’s family introduced me to them.

    My favorite is to add some spicy micro greens or sprouts. So good!

    Use a fried green tomato instead of a raw red tomato.

    Replace the Tomato with cheese and less lettuce.

  14. Fried egg, pepper jack cheese and sub spinach for lettuce
