I posted this a while ago in another sub, before I knew r/seriouseats existed. Apologies to those who’ve seen it before, but as we approach tomato season, I thought it’d be worth sharing w this crowd.
Here’s my BLT, taking inspiration from Kenji’s tomato sandwich and BLT recipes.
Some notable touches when making this behemoth: kewpie mayo + basil leaves, toasted only one side of the bread (the side w the mayo) in bacon drippings, went heavy on the tomatoes. To quote Kenji, a BLT “is a tomato sandwich seasoned with bacon.”

The post has links to Kenji’s videos. Here’s a link to the serious eats recipe:

The sandwich is massive haha needs a good press down. Looks really tasty though!
Imo the bacon needs to touch the tomatoes to season them further as you eat.
Bread
Mayo
Lettuce
Bacon
Tomato
Mayo
Bread
One of the best things I learned from Kenji is that a sandwich that includes tomato is fundamentally a tomato sandwich. Gotta get them in season or you’re going to be disappointed.
Jelly of the lettuce, looks delicious
