AmericanUSmain
15 min
easy
2 servings
Servings4
9 strips thick cut bacon
bread
mayonnaise
lettuce
ripe tomatoes
1

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.

2

Create a disposable rack using aluminum foil by scrunching it up to simulate a rack, ensuring it has ridges for fat to drain.

3

Place the foil rack in a baking pan.

4

Lay down 9 strips of thick cut bacon on the foil rack, placing them in an odd number for even distribution later.

5

Transfer the pan with bacon into the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, checking for doneness.

6

After about 30 minutes, check the bacon for a little foam on top, indicating perfect doneness.

7

If desired, blot some bacon fat off with paper towels, but note that some fat is good for flavor in the BLT.

8

Assemble the BLT by layering lettuce first, then bacon, followed by tomato on toasted bread.
