A classic BLT, but instead of summery tomatoes, springtime strawberries. Call it an easy excuse to start BLT—er, BLS—season a few months early. If you’re raising your eyebrows at strawberries in a savory application, think of it this way: Tomatoes are a fruit; strawberries are a fruit. Tomatoes are red, juicy, sweet; strawberries are red and juicy and sweet. Tomatoes are delicious; strawberries are delicious.
Bacon, Lettuce & Strawberry Sandwich
Ingredients
- 4 to 6 ripe strawberries, tops removed and halved or quartered vertically
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 thick slices bacon, halved
- 2 slices bread
- 4 leaves iceberg lettuce
- Mayonnaise, to taste
Directions
- Add the strawberries to a bowl and sprinkle with a pinch each of salt and pepper. Toss, then let hang out while you work on the rest of the sandwich.
- Add the bacon to a cast-iron skillet and set over medium heat. Cook, shuffling around and flipping until crisp, 6 to 8 minutes.
- Use tongs to transfer the bacon to a plate, then immediately add the bread to the pan. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes per side, lowering the heat if needed, until the bread is toasty and golden-brown. Transfer the bread to a plate and let cool for a couple minutes.
- Spread each slice of bread with mayo, then build the sandwich in this order: strawberries, bacon, lettuce. Slice in half and eat immediately.
