The Ultimate BLT Recipe
A few months ago I created the Ultimate BLT in my kitchen. I took seven strips of bacon and wove them together in to a square. I then cooked the woven bacon in a large pan until it was crispy. I think if I would have baked the bacon, it would have made things easier. After the bacon was done, I completed the masterpiece you see in the image above.
Cooking your bacon this way for your BLT will ensure that you get bacon in every bite. Thus making the Ultimate BLT. Also, if you somehow get bored with the standard BLT don’t be ashamed to add more letters to the name. The image above is really a BLTGPP, since I added a Green Pepper and Provolone to it. Other items you could add to your BLT are ham, mustard, cucumber, hummus, or egg. Let me know what your favorite BLT additions are via comments or email.
If you need practice making BLTs, you can play this flash game. You can thank MetalChick666 for finding this addictive time waster. I wonder if there are more bacon related flash games?
My mother in law makes me BLT’s for breakfast when we stay over at her place. a lil mayo and some local american cheese prove to be addicting. I like your pattern. I’ll have to give it a shot.
If I had Mayo it would have been a BLTGPPM.
Sounds like a Lite version of that monster bacon-sausage creation that was all over the web a couple of weeks ago.
Definitely need the rename from BLT. A BLT is a work of genius and can only consist of untoasted white bread, preferably something sqwooshy like Wonder Bread (one of the only valid use for Wonder Bread imho), crisp but not burnt bacon, fresh, fresh, fresh tomatoes, and lots of real mayo. Mmmmmm – a childhood favorite.
Lately I’ve been using tortilla’s to wrap up my BLT’s. And I’ve been alternating between mayo and Baconnaise. Either way, YUM.
We did a little variation of a BLT adding an avocado and used the “swirl” technique to cook it up … you can see pics and the video of it here:

The bonus about the swirl method is you get a lot of depth from the bacon when you stack it. So, instead of a flat, thin layer of bacon, you get a substantial amount of bacon per bite. Yum …
One night last week my kiddos wanted BELT’s (the E is for egg)for dinner but I had errands to run. So I diced and fried the bacon, HARD Boiled the eggs, diced the tomatoes & shredded the lettuce. I tossed it all with Ranch dressing and stuffed into pita pockets! They were a HUGE success…hubby even said he prefers his BELT’s this way from now on! Love the weave technique but for me with 5 mouths to feed just a little labor intensive. But it LOOKS so cool!
avocado and banana peppers…
