This isn’t your average BLT. Built on thick slices of golden, buttery grilled Ace Bakery® Classic White Sourdough Bistro Bread and layered with crispy bacon, juicy ripe tomatoes, and fresh, crunchy lettuce, this version is all about simple ingredients done exceptionally well.

It’s a classic, elevated—perfect for a satisfying lunch or an easy, crowd-pleasing meal.
Ingredients4 slices of ACE Bakery® Bistro Bread (or another high-quality bread)4-6 slices of thick-cut bacon2-4 ripe tomatoes, sliced4-6 leaves of crisp lettuce (like romaine or butter lettuce)2 tablespoons mayonnaise (your favorite brand)1 teaspoon lemon juice1 clove garlic, smashedA handful of fresh herbs (basil, chives, and oregano)Butter, for grillingSalt and pepper, to taste .
InstructionsGrill the Bread: Lightly butter one side of each slice of Ace Bakery® Bistro Bread. Heat a skillet over medium heat and grill the bread, buttered side down, until golden brown and slightly crispy.Prepare the Herbed Mayo: In a food processor or blender, mix together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, smashed garlic clove, and your chopped fresh herbs (I used basil, chives, and oregano). Set aside.Cook the Bacon: Fry the bacon over medium heat to your desired level of crispiness. Once done, transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess fat.Assemble the BLT: Spread a generous layer of the herbed mayo on one side of each slice of bread. Place a layer of seasoned tomato slices on the mayo, sprinkling them with a bit of salt and pepper. dd the crispy bacon slices, followed by the lettuce leaves. Spread a little more of that herbed mayo on the remaining slice of bread. Cut the sandwich in half and enjoy your ultimate BLT!
