B.L.O.T
Yesterday marked the day that I craved and the day that I made the B.L.O.T.: bacon, lettuce, onion and toasted bread (okay, and mayo, but B.L.O.M.T. doesn’t sound as tasty or interesting). Hey, I was out of tomatoes, but I love onions so I added that to the mix.
Jenny’s B.L.O.T.
Ingredients:
4-6 slices of bacon
3-4 paper towels
2 slices of bread (I prefer Milton’s multigrain or white)
2 thin slices of white onion
3-4 medium pieces of butter lettuce
1 generous spoonful of mayonnaise
Directions:
Place the bacon slices on a large plate on top of two paper towels. Cover the bacon with the third paper towel (to minimize spatter in the microwave). Cook the bacon slices in the microwave on high for about 5 minutes until the meaty parts of the bacon are cooked and brown. Continue cooking the bacon for at least 2 more minutes until the bacon is cooked through. The edges may still look a bit raw, but this next step should fix that.
Place the bacon slices in a toaster oven (use the tray with rack insert) and set the toaster oven on the highest toast setting. The bacon should come out crispy and well-cooked.
Set the cooked bacon aside. Toast the bread slices. While the bread is toasting, slice the onion on a cutting board. Place the toast slices on the cutting board and spread both toast pieces with the mayo. Add the onions on top of that and then the lettuce pieces. Add the bacon slices on top and cut the sandwich in half.
I like to eat B.L.O.T. with a beverage made from half Sprite (or Diet Sprite) and orange juice plus pickles and your favorite chip (Kettle Chips makes delectable chips in flavors like Honey Dijon, Thai and Buffalo Blue Cheese).
Enjoy the B.L.O.T.!!
