Ultimate BLT

A delicious recipe for a signature sandwich!

I recently tried the recipe for Ultimate BLT from Bon Appetit, and I really enjoyed it. It includes two sweet-salty finishings that are very unique and add a great kick to the overall sandwich. For those that would not prefer it, you can leave them off and let the bacon speak for itself.

The Ultimate BLT is a simple recipe that makes 8 servings with a prep time of 35-50 minutes for the bacon strips and a short cook time for the toast and putting the sandwich together. If anyone is interested in checking out the instructions, please click on the image up above.

The following ingredients were used:

I really recommend this recipe!
