Classic BLT with Zesty Rosemary Mayo
This simple sandwich gets a big flavor upgrade thanks to a quick, homemade rosemary and garlic mayo.
recipesbynani.comThere is something so special about a perfect BLT. When you have high quality bacon, crisp lettuce, and a ripe tomato, you really do not need much else to make a great lunch. I love this version because the rosemary mayo adds a bright, savory kick that makes the whole sandwich pop.
My best advice is to use the best ingredients you can find. Since there are only a few items in this recipe, each one really matters. I personally love using thick sourdough bread because it holds up perfectly to all those juicy tomatoes.
🧺 Ingredients
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- 1 small clove garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 8 slices thick cut bacon, cooked until crispy
- 4 large leaves of crunchy lettuce
- 2 large ripe tomatoes, sliced
- 8 slices of sturdy bread, toasted
👩🍳Instructions
- 1
In a small bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, chopped rosemary, minced garlic, and lemon juice until well combined.
- 2
Spread a generous amount of the rosemary mayo onto one side of each slice of toasted bread.
- 3
Layer the crispy bacon, fresh lettuce, and juicy tomato slices onto four of the bread slices.
- 4
Top with the remaining bread slices, press down gently, and serve immediately.
💡 Tips
If you have extra rosemary mayo, keep it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. It tastes wonderful as a dip for roasted potatoes or spread on a turkey club. For the best experience, assemble these right before you eat them so the bread stays nice and crunchy.
