While the individual components of the BLT (bacon, lettuce, and tomato) have been around for centuries, their combination into the sandwich we know today is a 20th-century phenomenon. Bacon's popularity surged with mass production, and the rise of indoor cultivation made lettuce and tomatoes available year-round. Early versions appeared in cookbooks under different names, solidifying as the 'BLT' in the mid-1900s.

The BLT offers a delightful combination of salty, smoky, crisp, and fresh flavors.
The salty and smoky flavor of the bacon is the star, complemented by the cool, crispness of lettuce and the juicy sweetness of the tomato. Mayonnaise adds a creamy richness and binds the flavors together. The toasted bread provides a structural base and a pleasant textural contrast.

Bacon Quality
Use thick-cut bacon for a richer, meatier flavor and better texture. Cook it until crispy but not burnt.
Tomato Selection
Choose ripe, flavorful tomatoes. Heirloom varieties can add a unique sweetness and complexity.
Bread Choice
Opt for sturdy bread that can hold the ingredients without getting soggy. Sourdough or whole wheat are popular choices. Toasting the bread adds structure and flavor.
Mayonnaise Matters
Use a high-quality mayonnaise or even make your own. Experiment with flavored mayonnaises like garlic aioli or sriracha mayo for a unique twist.
Lettuce Crispness
Ensure the lettuce is fresh, crisp, and thoroughly dried to prevent a soggy sandwich. Iceberg, Romaine, or butter lettuce are all common choices.
