Nothing says comfort food to me like a BLT, plus it is my favorite sandwich.
Add cheese - yummmm-y
Serves 4
Ingredients:1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon cooking oil
8 slices bread
4 slices of cheese of choice, enough to cover top of bread
8 slices bacon, cooked turkey or lean regular bacon
2 tomatoes
Lettuce leaves
Instructions:
Melt butter in microwave with oil.
Add enough of the butter mixture to coat a large nonstick skillet. Heat to medium heat.
Spread remaining butter mixture on one side of four bread slices.
Place other 4 pieces of bread on surface of skillet, top with cheese.
When bread in skillet is golden brown on bottom, add bacon, top with remaining bread slices with buttered side out. Flip and cook until cheese has melted and bread is golden brown on the other side.
Add tomatoes and lettuce
Cooking Wiser
When buying turkey bacon choose carefully. It can be very salty. If you decide to use regular bacon, select a low fat brand, cook crisp to render more of the fat and pat dry on paper towel.
I used smoked cheddar cheese to give the sandwich a wonderful smoked flavor.
Select bread that is low in calories and high in fiber
If you are using thick cheese you may want to pre-melt bottom slice with cheese under the broiler.
