重要提醒

⚠️

The core philosophy of this recipe is that a BLT is a tomato sandwich first and foremost. Use the best, ripest, in-season tomatoes you can find.

⚠️

Cooking the bacon slowly over low heat is key to rendering the fat properly and achieving a perfectly crispy texture.

⚠️

For the immersion blender mayonnaise, it's essential to use a container that the blender head just barely fits inside to create the vortex needed for a stable emulsion.

⚠️

Don't skip seasoning the tomatoes with salt and pepper directly; it makes a huge difference in the final taste of the sandwich.

⚠️

For extra flavor, you can toast the bread directly in the rendered bacon fat.
