Like any Southerner, I LOVE a classic BLT sandwich! But sometimes, I like to kick things up a notch. That’s when I created this Gourmet BLT Sandwich recipe!

What’s so gourmet about it you ask? Well, for starters, it has a delicious basil mayo spread and two layers of provolone cheese. It’s so good that it’ll probably be the only way you’ll eat BLT’s from now on!

It’s still a really simple sandwich to make, you’ll just need a food processor or blender to create the mayo spread.

What You’ll Need to Make the Gourmet BLT Sandwich

For Two Servings

• 6 pieces of Bacon

• 2 Garlic Cloves

• 2 Tbs of Mayonnaise
  

• 2 handfuls of the Greens of your choice

• 8 Basil Leaves

• 2 Campari Tomatoes

• 4 Slices of Provolone Cheese

• 1 tsp Salt

• 1 tsp Pepper

• 4 pieces of Toast

How to Make It

Place your bacon in a medium heat skillet and cook until bacon is done and crispy. Place onto a plate with paper towels to soak up extra bacon grease.

In a food processor, add your mayonnaise, garlic cloves, basil, salt, and pepper and blend until everything is well incorporated.

You could also mix up the spread in a bowl, just make sure your garlic is finely minced and your basil is julienned beforehand.

Time to build your BLT! I love to put a piece of provolone cheese on both the top and bottom of the sandwich! I obviously forgot to while grabbing photos for this blog post (oops!).

This gourmet BLT sandwich makes a great weekend breakfast or a casual brunch option! If serving for brunch, I would cut the sandwiches into squares and place toothpicks in the middle for easy serving!
