Description

The Blue Cheese BLT Sandwich with Lemon Dill Mayo is a delicious twist on the classic BLT, featuring crispy bacon, fresh lettuce, ripe tomatoes, and tangy blue cheese complemented by a bright and creamy lemon dill mayonnaise. This sandwich is easy to assemble, satisfying, and perfect for a quick lunch with a perfect balance of savory, creamy, and fresh flavors.

Ingredients

Bread and Protein

  • 4 slices of bread (sourdough, country white, multigrain, or sandwich bread)
  • 6 slices of bacon

Produce

  • Romaine or leaf lettuce, enough for 2 sandwiches
  • 2 ripe tomatoes, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
  • Optional: 1 avocado, sliced

Dairy and Condiments

  • 1/4 cup blue cheese, crumbled
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise

Seasonings

  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Cook the Bacon: Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the bacon slices until they are crisp and browned. Once done, transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess fat.
  2. Prepare the Lemon Dill Mayo: In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, chopped fresh dill, garlic powder, and black pepper until well combined to create a bright and flavorful spread.
  3. Toast the Bread: Lightly toast the bread slices until they turn golden brown, which adds crunch and prevents sogginess.
  4. Assemble the Sandwich: Spread the lemon dill mayonnaise evenly on one side of each toasted bread slice. On two slices, layer fresh lettuce leaves followed by sliced tomatoes.
  5. Add Bacon and Blue Cheese: Place the crispy bacon on top of the tomatoes, then sprinkle crumbled blue cheese over the bacon for a creamy, tangy kick.
  6. Add Optional Avocado: If using avocado, add slices on top of the blue cheese for extra creaminess.
  7. Complete the Sandwich: Top with the remaining bread slices, mayonnaise side down, to close the sandwich.
  8. Serve: Cut the sandwiches in half diagonally and serve immediately while the bacon is warm and the bread is crisp.

Notes

  • To avoid soggy sandwiches, pat tomatoes dry before assembling and toast the bread.
  • Substitute turkey bacon or grilled chicken for the traditional bacon if preferred.
  • Blue cheese can be replaced with feta, goat cheese, or cheddar for different flavor profiles.
  • Prepare lemon dill mayonnaise ahead and refrigerate in an airtight container for up to several days.
  • Store cooked bacon in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat before using.
  • For a warm sandwich variation, grill the sandwich without lettuce and tomato, then add fresh ingredients after grilling.
