Diner-Style BLT Sandwiches
with Parmesan-Ranch Tossed Salad
- Soy
- Wheat
- Milk
- Eggs
The fresh aroma after a spring rain, a starry night, a perfect peach: It’s the simple things that often bring the most joy, like a BLT! And this one’s a classic: toasted sourdough slathered with spicy seasoned mayo and layered with smoky bacon, juicy tomatoes, and crisp lettuce. Just like at the diner, we’ve got a side salad for you—a creamy, crunchy buttermilk ranch-dressed number, showered with Parmesan. It’s the perfect pairing for one of our favorite sandwiches of all time.

Cooking Steps
• Heat a medium dry pan over medium-high heat. Add bacon*; cook, turning occasionally and adjusting heat if browning too quickly, until crispy, 6-10 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate.
• While bacon cooks, wash and dry produce.
• Thinly slice half the tomatoes into rounds and dice remaining tomato into ¼-inch pieces. Season tomato rounds with salt and pepper. Trim and discard root end from lettuce; separate leaves. Reserve one whole leaf per sandwich, then chop the remaining leaves into bite-size pieces.
• Toast sourdough slices.
• In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, ½ tsp Fry Seasoning, a pinch of sugar, and as much hot sauce as you like (1 tsp Fry Seasoning and two pinches of sugar for 4 servings). Taste and season with salt and pepper.
• In a large bowl, toss together diced tomato, chopped lettuce, ranch dressing, and Parmesan.
• Spread one side of toasted sourdough slices with mayo mixture. Layer bacon, reserved whole lettuce leaves, and tomato rounds on half the sourdough slices; close sandwiches.
• Halve sandwiches; divide between plates and serve with salad on the side.
Bacon is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 145°.

Reviews from our home cooks
The BLT itself was really yummy! I would have liked more bacon. Each sandwich had 3 tiny strips, so that didn't feel like enough. It also came with a salad but I think it would have better paired with potato wedges. Again, the BLT was really good, the bread was delicious and I loved the sauce I made to go with it. Portions were small and the side would have been better being something different.
How can you screw up BLTs. You can't. They were yummy...BUT I thought the amount of bacon provided was a little skimpy. Each sandwich could have used one more healthy slab of bacon. There was a lot of gap in the sandwich.
You put a nice twist in a BLT by using fry seasoning with mayo.
I love the fry seasoning with hot sauce on the sandwiches. It was great.
Beyond Awesome. My husband doesn't like BLT's but he said "that was a good sammich".
Love your bacon, love a BLT on sourdough bread, tomatoes were fresh.
Quick and easy meal when you don't have time for dinner. Bacon is little too thick cut for a BLT sandwich in our opinion but still delicious!
Bacon a little too thick and chewy. Loved the sauce though and BLTs are always a crowd pleaser in my house.
These sandwiches were actually very good, but there was not enough bacon to make two sandwiches! We could only make 1 1/2 and that was using the bacon sparingly. It would also be preferable if thin sliced bacon vs. thick were used so it could get crispy. The bread and the spicy mayo were great.
Great taste but suggest instructing to add pepper to the salad. There was so little bacon we had to crumble it to have it cover the bread (still with lots of empty space). Suggest doubling the bacon portion
