Bacon Lettuce And Cantaloupe Sandwiches Recipes

THE BEST BLT (BACON, LETTUCE, AND TOMATO) SANDWICHES WITH SPECIAL SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat a skillet over medium heat until warm. Add a few slices of bacon and cook until crisp on both sides. Remove to a paper towel lined plate to drain while you cook the rest of the bacon.
• Toast the slices of bread, buttering the outside of the slices. Buttering the bread is optional.
• Mix all the sauce ingredients in a bowl.
• Assemble the sandwiches: spread one slice of bread with a generous amount of BLT sauce. Lay a couple slices of bacon over the sauce, top with a slice or two of tomato and a few pieces of lettuce. Top with another piece of toasted bread and serve.

THE ULTIMATE BLT SANDWICH

Steps:

• You can either bake your bacon (add 4 to 6 extra minutes to the cooking time for thick cut), or you can heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the bacon for about 6 to 8 minutes, turning it every few minutes until it is nicely crisp, but still pliable. Remove the bacon to paper towels to drain, then cut each slice in half crosswise.
• Spread about 1 teaspoon of mayonnaise on 1 side of each piece of bread. Spray a large skillet with nonstick cooking spray and heat over medium heat. In the skillet, place as many slices of bread that will fit, mayo side down, and griddle them up until the mayo side of the bread is nicely browned, about 1 minute. Remove the bread from the skillet, let rest browned side up, and griddle up any remaining slices.
• Place 4 of the slices of toast browned side down on a cutting board. Place a tomato on each piece, season lightly with salt and pepper, place 3 half slices of bacon on each slice of tomato, and top with a couple of pieces of lettuce. Generously spread the rest of the mayo on the non-browned side of the remaining slices of bread, and top the sandwiches with them browned side up. You now have a perfect BLT. Read on for some more ideas.

BLT

Steps:

• Cook the bacon in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on a paper towel-lined plate.
• Arrange the cooked bacon, lettuce, and tomato slices on one slice of bread. Spread one side of remaining bread slice with the mayonnaise. Bring the two pieces together to make a sandwich.

BACON, LETTUCE, AND CANTALOUPE SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F.
• In a shallow baking pan cook bacon in one layer in middle of oven, turning occasionally, until golden and crisp, 16 to 18 minutes, and transfer to paper towels to drain.
• In a small bowl whisk together mayonnaise, mustard, lemon juice, and honey until smooth.
• Seed cantaloupe. Cut melon into 12 slices and discard rind. Cut out and discard lettuce ribs.
• Spread mayonnaise mixture on all 8 slices of bread. Stack lettuce, melon, and bacon on 4 of the slices and top with remaining 4 slices, gently pressing them together.
