With its ability to sear at high temperatures and a flat griddle cooktop that ensures an even sear without burning, you can achieve crispy bacon and toasted bread that elevates this classic sandwich to a new level. Follow this recipe to make a BLT that’s sure to become a favorite.

Ingredients:

• 12 slices of thick-cut bacon
• 8 slices of bread (sourdough or your favorite type)
• 4 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 1 large tomato, sliced
• 4 leaves of romaine lettuce
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Fire up the grill: Preheat your Arteflame grill by lighting the fire and allowing it to heat up. Get it ready for grilling by ensuring the flat griddle cooktop is clean and lightly oiled.

2. Cook the bacon: Place the bacon slices on the flat griddle cooktop, using the medium heat zone. Cook until crispy, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking. Remove the bacon and let it drain on paper towels.

3. Prepare the bread: Spread softened butter on one side of each bread slice.

4. Grill the bread: Place the bread slices on the flat griddle cooktop, buttered side down. Grill until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.

5. Assemble the sandwiches: In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard. Spread the mixture on the unbuttered sides of the grilled bread. Layer with lettuce, tomato slices, and a generous amount of crispy bacon. Top with another slice of grilled bread.

6. Serve: Cut the sandwiches in half and serve immediately.

Tips:

• Butter over olive oil: Using butter instead of olive oil adds a rich, delicious flavor to the bread.
• Different heat zones: Utilize the different heat zones on the Arteflame grill’s flat griddle cooktop to control the cooking temperature perfectly.
• Even sear: Pressing the bread lightly with a spatula ensures an even sear and helps achieve a crispy texture.
• Remove early: Always remove the bacon and bread from the grill when they are slightly underdone as they will continue to cook off the heat.

With the Arteflame grill, making a BLT sandwich that is crispy, golden, and full of fresh ingredients is effortless. The solid steel cooktop ensures an even sear without burning, while the different heat zones allow for precise cooking.
