Ingredients

8 slices of thick-cut bacon
4 slices of hearty bread (sourdough or ciabatta recommended)
4 leaves of fresh romaine lettuce
2 large ripe tomatoes, sliced
2 tablespoons of butter
4 tablespoons of mayonnaise
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Step 1: Fire Up the Grill

Start by firing up the Arteflame grill to get it ready for grilling. Aim for a hot center grill grate for searing and a moderate temperature on the flat cooktop.

Step 2: Cook the Bacon

Place the bacon strips on the flat cooktop griddle, closer to the center for a quick sear.
Sear the bacon on each side for about 2-3 minutes until it becomes crispy and golden brown.
Move the bacon to the cooler edges of the cooktop to keep warm while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.

Step 3: Toast the Bread

Spread butter on both sides of each bread slice.
Place the bread slices on the flat cooktop griddle, toasting until they are golden brown and slightly crispy, about 2 minutes per side.

Step 4: Assemble the Sandwich

Spread a generous amount of mayonnaise on one side of each toasted bread slice.
Layer the bacon, lettuce, and tomato slices on two of the bread slices. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
Top with the remaining bread slices, mayonnaise side down.

Step 5: Serve

Cut each sandwich in half and serve immediately. Enjoy the perfect balance of crispy bacon, fresh lettuce, and juicy tomatoes with each bite.

Tips

For added flavor, try using flavored mayonnaise such as garlic or chipotle.
Use a bread with a sturdy texture to hold up to the juicy tomatoes and crispy bacon.
Add a slice of avocado for a creamy twist on the classic BLT.
