THE BEST BLT (BACON, LETTUCE, AND TOMATO) SANDWICH

Steps:

• Place a griddle or skillet over medium-low heat. Add bacon and place a bacon press, skillet, or masonry trowel on top of it to keep it flat as it cooks. Cook until lightly browned on first side, about 5 minutes, then flip, cover again, and continue cooking until bacon is browned on both sides and fat has rendered, about 3 minutes longer. Transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate and set aside.
• Place bread on same skillet or griddle and toast in bacon fat over medium-low heat, swirling occasionally, until evenly browned on first side. Flip and brown second side.
• Lay toasted bread on a work surface and spread mayonnaise on both top faces. Divide lettuce evenly between both pieces of bread. Layer tomato slices on 1 piece of bread and sprinkle generously with coarse salt and freshly ground pepper.
• Break bacon slices in half and layer them onto the sandwich in 2 layers of 3 half slices each, alternating the orientation of bacon in each layer for more structural stability. Close sandwich and cut in half diagonally. Serve immediately.

• Arrange the bacon in a single layer on a rack set inside a sheet tray. Season with 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Roast the bacon until crispy, 10 to 12 minutes per side.
• In a medium bowl, combine the mayo, lemon juice, Worcestershire and garlic. Mix until well blended. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
• Season the avocado with salt and pepper.
• Assemble the sandwiches by spreading the aioli on each slice of bread. Layer 2 slices of bread with the lettuce and then the avocado. Top the other 2 slices of bread with the bacon and tomatoes (let the brine drip off first). Close the sandwiches. Cut the sandwiches in half and serve.
