That image doesn't have enough bacon, I think a reasonable but equal amount of the 3 are best.
You don't need avocado.
Salt and pepper on the veggies.
Good quality mayo.
Add onion if you want.
Cheese isn't necessary, but sure why not.
If you choose a quality mozz then go ahead and add balsamic to your mayo and basil leaves.

>>12644607
Putting avocado on BLTs is for fags.

>>12644590
I grew up in an area where a lot of people grow their own tomatoes and they're used in everything. I eat a ton of tomato sandwiches, which consists of white bread, large tomato slices, generous mayo, and pepper on that bitch.

>>12644614
I just moved and don't have tomatoes this year from the garden. But tomatoe sandwich? That's like having a bread sandwich

When I have some, i like to use tomato jam. And when I do, I also add a fried egg.
>sourdough, toasted
>mayo on one side
>tomato jam on the other side
>bacon over the tomato jam
>then a fried egg sprinkled with pepper and hot sauce
>then leaf lettuce on the mayo side
Delicious.
Some other things I like adding to normal blts, are sliced peppers (jalapeños, pepperocini, banana peppers, etc); avocado; olives; apicy mayo, etc. My favorite brwad to use is aourdough, but I also like seeded rye or oat & seed bread for them.
Also, sometimes I'll glaze the bacon while it's cooking for extra flavor.

If you have more or less ingredients than bacon, lettuce and tomato (not including sauce and seasoning) it is not a BLT

peanut butter

trust me

>>12644614
I just eat tomatos off the vine like an apple. All a tomato needs is a little salt.

>>12644666
Satan does not like pepper. Interesting.

>>12644634
Not really, you use a THICK layer of tomato, with a lot of pepper and mayo. You use very high quality homegrown tomatoes so it's pretty flavorful. Also good if you put some sharp cheese in it. I see what you mean if it's only a few slices between some wonder bread though.

>>12644634
Not so, a good heirloom or beefsteak tomato perfectly ripened and thickly sliced with salt, pepper, and mayo is divine. Cheese, onion, or mustard are optional too.

>>12644590
yeah add turkey to it. also a slice of kraft singles

>>12644671
you can use pepper, but it is unnecessary

>>12644684
>kraft singles
nope.

>>12644693
C'mon anon, you know it's a must when using lite miracle whip.

>>12644684
I'll skip the Kraft singles. Bongardts is better. Any soup that's good to go with the sandwich?

>>12644735
>miracle whip
>kraft singles
are you an 80 year old lady? do you use wonder bread too?

>>12644769
My grandma made her tomato sandwiches that way, yes. She is 72, and it's a bitch to say that it was okay, fried bologna too. I do feel great shame. She used regular miracle whip though, not lite because that's so much worse.

>>12644590
I’ve never tried to make a fancy one, but if I wanted to it’d be
>fried green tomatoes
>crispy pancetta
>butter lettuce
>blue cheese dressing
>sourdough
but pic related is my normal one
>microwave Aldi bacon
>cut in half cherry tomatoes
>dukes mayo
>one piece of wonder bread cut in half
>served on wet paper towel

>>12644812
I'm sorry anon

>>12644614
Sounds very Italian. Most store bought tomatoes are too mealy and lack sweetness to make a sandwich like you described. I ate tomato sandwiches growing up too, but I don't know what kind of tomato was grown in the garden. What variety/species of tomato do you grow?

>>12644684
Doesn't that make it a club sandwich?

>>12644812
You need to do better, why is everything placed in the middle? This makes me sad for you, but points for Duke's though. Try bagel toasting the bread next time.

>>12644590
You can't improve a classic. Bacon, lettuce, fresh garden tomatoes salted and peppered, Dukes mayo on toasted whole wheat or white bread. I saw that faggot gook, Chang I think his name is, on Mind of a Chef try to improve it by using tomato jam and grinding the bacon to a paste. The thought of it gives me the DT horrors. Lost all respect for that faggot at that point.

>>12644848
club sandwich has ham and turkey

Take away lettuce, put on more bacon and extra mayo. Doesn't need anything else

Coming from someone who hated tomatoes as a kid, its genuinely my favorite sandwich ever

>>12644590
Use uncured beef bacon. Fry it on a griddle at 400 till almost burnt.

>>12644612
he said that retard

>>12645714
My response was in agreement with him dumbass.

>>12644590
Skip the bacon, go straight to the hard core
Get some slabs of real pork belly, 1/4" thick at least
Bake in oven, 400f, til outside gets crispy
Then proceed to make sammich.
Option 2; Serious backwoods style
Use hog jowls, prepared the same way.
Whichever you choose, you'll never go back to wimpy bacon again.

>>12644590
The BLT is a closed loop, because the name is very limiting. That said, you can obviously just add tuna and cheese, and you suddenly have a tuna melt.

If you want to limit yourself to bacon-lettuce-tomato, then just use fancier versions of everything
>pancetta or guanciale, instead of B
>arugula or spinach, instead of L
>sun-dried or green tomatoes, or a rosemary cherry tomato chutney, instead of T

Adding rosemary or basil makes sense, because those almost always work with tomato. Iceberg lettuce usually sucks, but it works well on the BLT. But if you're going to up one element, you might as well do everything,

>>12646051
Oh, and spruce up your mayonnaise however you like
>garlic and olive oil, to make an ailoi
>siracha of course
>capers or some type of mustard that isn't just yellow....dijon, grey poupon, country/coarse-ground
Put hummus on it? Use everything bread, multigrain, French, sourdough?

>>12644590
It's pretty good with tempeh and better everything else too, like tahini, avocado, red onion, arugula, etc.

>>12644607
May is never good quality because it's always made with some kind of extracted oil, all of which are worthless tier ingredients. Some avocado with lime and salt is a good quality mayo.

>>12645259
Iceberg lettuce is a good barrier to protect the roof of your mouth biting into a course bacon sandwich.

>>12644590
It's pretty good with a fried egg

>>12644666
Put sugar on a tomato and prepare to have your mind blown.

>>12646261
alright, I'll try it

>>12646228

You fucking fried egg assholes putting fried eggs on everything. Just eat a goddamn egg on toast like a good Zoroastrian.

>>12646264

salt and pepper the cocksucker first. This sugar asshole is trying to taunt you to the dark side. Not on the entire sandwich, directly on the tomato.

>>12646266
Name one dish that can't be improved with a fried egg

>>12646296

Corn flakes.

>>12646296

Sorry, I'm joking but it's like dipshits adding avocados to everything. It's just boring oil, or boring egg protein. It's not offensive, but it's just adding on to something that doesn't need it. BLT should be light, bright and salty. An egg is like when your cat shits in his box and you're forced to smell it. It's cloying and makes everything miserable.

>>12646261
American here saying you shouldn't do this on a sandwich ever.

>>12646310
Eggs do have their place, but very well said.

>>12646273
I meant just eat a tomato on its own with some sugar on it and I'm sure the anon understood, you fucking sperglord.

>>12646326

I fucking _love_ eggs. I just made an 8 egg pickled egg 4 days ago. Just on some things it's a bit much. I like the dry crispness of a blt. That's just my dick opinion. Dry with a bunch of white person mayo. And I love avacado too, so I'm talking out both sides of my ass.

>>12646351

settle down, hon, I was fucking with you.

>>12646083
Fuck you. Don't suggest that to me again. Taste good mayo, not everything has to taste like avocado and lime you spic wannabe.

>>12646306
That's what my piss smells like a lot.

>>12644607
>avocado
literally a flavorless food with the consistency and texture of shit

>>12646375
I'm not going to waste any calories on shitty oil and dick clogging egg.

>>12646379

That might be pre-diabetic. Mine smells like feces and I think that's me destroying my kidneys with home made vodka.

>>12646379

regardless, drink more water than you ever want to. Shove it down your throat.

>>12646371
nobody is upset other than ur parents

>>12646449

stop being a teenager and join the conversation. please? Can you harvest that grownupedness tonight?

cajun remoulade is p goog

no tomato

no lettuce

bacon only

final destination

This sandwich needs a positive void coefficient. And you're removing, lettuce, tomato and mayonnaise, all of this increases reactivity. As Baconium breaks apart it creates breadonium and that poisons the core of the sandwich. You're stalling the sandwich.

>>12646561
Them's're sum fancy words ya got there fer "soggy bread", doc.

I like mine on sliced brioche with the inner sides toasted.

>>12644590
I add radishes and french onion dip.

>>12644769
>live with grandparents all my life
>they call miracle whip "mayo"
>shit's disgusting
>end up thinking I don't like mayo until I'm like 18
Similar situation with butter since they always called that country crock shit "butter"

I use cabbage and make it a cock and ball torture instead. But really, i like diced cabbage more than a lettuce because it has a great crunch

>>12644590
>Interesting ways
It’s BLT. It’s fucking 3 main ingredients inside + bread and maybe mayo and black pepper. What do you expect? What do you fucking want? You can as well make ABELT so you just add poached or fried egg and avocado but it’s not gonna be BLT anymore. Fucking zoomers I swear. Just make your own sandwiches if you don’t like the original.

>>12644607
>Mayo
>Veggies
Never had mayonnaise on something as simple as a BLT.
Tomatoes are a fruit.

>>12644661
Why would I trust a poorfag?

>>12644666
> He eats it off the vine without any pepper and some nice home-made bread and REAL butter.

>>12644686
Tastelet detected.

>>12645047
Since fucking when did a BLT require mayonnaise in it?
Is this an American thing?
And NO I am not obsessed with you fuckers, the juice from the tomatoes and lettuce makes the whole thing easy to eat.
Useless........

>>12645259
> Amerifats........
>Post MAYO, MAYO, MAYO.
>Even Extra Mayo

Sort your shit out for fuck sakes.
