I'm not typically a sandwich eater, but I simply can't resist a BLT! Especially one that's homemade and packed with bacon in every bite ;)
As I was looking through Sashi's blog, Get Off The Couch and Cook (awesome name, by the way!), I made quite a list of recipes that I wanted to make for this month's Secret Recipe Club. I love Sashi's stance on eating: avoiding prepacked foods while still enjoying the foods you love, made with real ingredients. She's a woman after my own heart! Some of the recipes that caught my eye were Gyro Pizza with Homemade Tzatziki and Greek Seasoning, Apple Pie French Toast, and Chicken Nachos. Ultimately though, I had to make her BLT because I just couldn't resist it!
You'll definitely want to make the Burger and Fry Sauce and keep it in a container in your fridge. It's amazing on burgers too (of course!). Sashi also recommended coating each side of the bread in a thin layer of mayonnaise before toasting it in the oven. Don't skip that step--I'll never make BLTs another way! All in all, this is one delicious sandwich!
Makes 4 sandwiches
Ingredients:
8 slices thick cut bacon
8 slices whole wheat bread
1/4 cup mayonnaise
4 slices cheddar cheese
1/4 cup Burger and Fry Sauce (recipe below)
lettuce
sliced tomatoes
1. Cook bacon until crisp. I bake mine: place bacon in a single layer on a cookie sheet and bake at 400 degrees for 18-20 minutes, until crisp. Drain on a plate lined with paper towel.
2. Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on both sides of each piece of bread. Place on a cookie sheet and bake at 400 degrees until bread is toasted, flipping to toast both sides.
3. Assemble sandwiches by putting fry sauce on one slice of bread, top with tomato, lettuce, bacon, cheese, and a second slice of bread. Serve warm.

ReplyDeleteHealth benefits of the keto diet
ReplyDeleteSince ancient times, epilepsy and other neurological illnesses have been treated with the low-carb, high-fat ketogenic diet. The keto diet has been utilized as a weight-loss strategy more recently. The way the ketogenic diet functions is by making the body burn fat for energy rather than carbohydrates. When the body's supply of glycogen, which it uses as a kind of carbohydrate storage, is depleted, ketosis sets in. We will learn about the advantages of the ketogenic diet in this blog post.
