Everyone has a lot of opinions on how to make the bacon, lettuce, and tomato sandwich (aka BLT), personally, I like to treat it like a burger, except instead of a beef patty, the center is a big juicy slice of tomato, preferably at least 1/4 inch thick.

Growing up, you go to a sandwich place, they throw on some crummy out-of-season tomatoes, and they don't salt them. I never understood why anybody would put tomatoes on a sandwich. But after seeing this and Kenji's vid, I finally went out and got some locally grown heirlooms and seasoned them and put them on a BLT. Oh man. Oh man, oh man, oh man.

I loved Kenji's BLT video. It changed how I look at BLTs and after that video I've made it many times with that philosophy in mind and the BLT has come to be maybe my favorite sandwich. Top 3, for sure. You need really good quality, juicy, thick tomatoes seasoned like steak, and a huge shmear of homemade, really tangy and lemony garlic mayo on both bread slices. Sometimes I have to use plain old ripe hothouse tomatoes, but a really great BLT isn't possible without in-season heirloom tomatoes, either home grown or bought from the farmer's market. I think I differ with you in that my BLT has about twice the bacon. I like to have a nearly even ratio of 1:1:1 between bacon, lettuce, and tomato. And I like to make a finely shredded lettuce medley with iceberg, romaine and red or green leaf lettuce, lightly dressed with vinegar. Every ingredient should be flavorful in its own right, and that doesn't necessarily mean salt. Hard agree that the bread should be toasted, but I like sourdough and I do a light toasting in the toaster only. Just enough to keep the bread from falling apart from the moisture of the tomatoes.

@jomjohns 2 года назад

Same! I used to think, "Why do people like BLTs so much?" until I watched Kenji's video and now it's easily top 3 for me too. It also helps to know that store bought tomatoes are basically garbage and you must get locally grown fresh ones.

I used to make my BLT as an even ratio but found some delicious tomatoes in the local supermarket and I'd just baked a bread loaf yesterday, so I made this sandwich pretty much exactly as you did (sans pickled onion liquid, just used rice Vinegar) and wow, it really blew me away. Big chunks of tomato, with the acidic juices drawn out with salt, and the slight smoky savory flavour of the bacon and tartness of the dressed lettuce all complemented eachother so well. The mouth feel of juicy tomato, crispy bacon, and crunchy lettuce too was great. Thanks for the idea!

@hellsing0999999999 2 года назад

By far the best recipe, a lot of other videos prioritize the bacon over the tomatoes by putting a lot of it, and not seasoning the tomatoes, much less seasoning the tomatoes before arming the sandwich, a really great and fresh recipe and even with store-bought tomatoes, the taste is transformed once you properly season your tomato slices (and a touch of MSG just to be sure lol).

@albuseisenhorn3385 2 года назад

Good method and agree on much. The way I make mine is 4 pieces of costco bacon cooked in the oven, good in season tomatoes - I don't bother seasoning them prior, same with the lettuce but it has to be a variety with a good grassy note along with some bite to it (usually romane), a good slathering of hellmanns regular mayo on both pieces of bread. I basically want a good balance of bacon tomato lettuce mayo and bread. As far as bread is concerned I whole heartedly agree - wonder bread is basically hot garbage. There are many brands that are way more healthy and are as expensive as wonder, most of the bread i eat is either bakery bread in a french style loaf at about 2 bucks or this really good commercially made rye bread at 3 bucks. What you want is Rye for a BLT has a subtle flavour of its own, has really good density and is heathier than white bread. I toast it using the bagel setting with the inside of the BLT as the non-toasted sides (with a good dollop of mayo no worries about soggy bread) then once the top is about to go on I salt and pepper the mayo and close it up.

I hope you don't mind asking, but what country do you live in? As well, do you know where the lettuce comes from? Both of these will give us a clue as to where the issue might be

Here in the midwest, we have texas-toast-sliced white bread. Very thick. Not sure if that's a common thing. I only discovered it a couple years ago.

Great tip on less toast on the exterior. I’d personally like a lot more Mayo on mine.

@clarkgray4109 2 года назад

Yeah I don’t really see the point of adding the Mayo if you’re gonna had a half teaspoon’s worth

@@clarkgray4109 I'm not a big mayo fan. The reason for the light mayo is to keep the juices from the tomato from soaking into the bread. Everyone has their own tastes and in making a BLT there is no right or wrong way. Cheers

Added benefit: the inside of your mouth isn’t rasped raw on the toasted side of the bread.

Common misconception about sourdough is that it has to be tangy. That's not true. You can use a stiff starter to promote yeast rather than acid to reduce it, as well as using less starter and instead a longer shower bulk ferment. I do this and it results in sourdough without the Tang forward notes.

Pickled onions would be mesmerizing on this 👌
