The BBLT

It is just too hot here to cook much unless you wait until after 9 pm for dinner. So I prepared the bacon in the microwave and we had a favorite of ours, a Bacon, Lettuce and Tomato sandwich. Since my herbs are growing so well, I just hate to miss an opportunity to use them, so I added a layer of fresh basil leaves to the BLT and OH MY...was it good.

BBL & T (Bacon, Basil, Lettuce and Tomato Sandwich)

2 slices of bread
2 full slices of fried bacon
Fresh lettuce
Fresh tomato slices
4-6 fresh whole basil leaves
Salt
Pepper
Butter
Mayonnaise

Toast the bread. Butter each piece of toast and then add some mayonnaise. Salt and pepper tomato slices. On the toast layer whole basil leaves, bacon, tomato, lettuce and then the final piece of toast.

Deanna S. said...: Looks great and reminds me that I have a pound of bacon in the fridge. I will have to try it with basil (or pesto). I love mine with a couple slices of avocado...a BLAT!; July 20, 2008 at 7:42 PM

Ivy said...: Hi,
What a great idea, i'll have to try it. Have you seen that purplish basil, I forget what it's called but it's also really good. :); July 21, 2008 at 1:32 PM
kat said...: yum, the addition of basil sounds great!; July 21, 2008 at 3:49 PM
Michelle said...: I've had Avacado Sandwiches before and they're delicious with a little bit of mustard...yummy!

Ive, that purple basil is called Purple Basil....LOL!!! It has a little bit stronger taste then the more common basil but then you get that gorgeous royal purple color to play with. You can also easily steep some in vinegar and you get the most gorgeous reddish purple vinegar!!; July 21, 2008 at 4:29 PM
grace said...: thanks for your entry, michelle! i agree--waiting until 9 or 10 for dinner just ain't gonna cut it. :)
it's hard to beat a good blt, but adding basil just may do it--nicely done.; July 22, 2008 at 3:38 AM
Olga said...: ooh, that looks very good! good thing I don't keep kosher :); July 24, 2008 at 9:43 AM
Michelle said...: Hey Olga! You can skip the bacon and just make a basil, lettuce and tomatoe and it's just as good!; July 24, 2008 at 10:03 AM
