How do you stack your BLT?

Bacon, Lettuce, & Tomato Sandwiches!

Let's hear it -- how do you assemble your perfect BLT? With or without condiment/spread? Flip your sandwich over if the order doesn't match the poll choice.

(I use smashed avocado as a spread, then B-T-L)

Condiments are mutually exclusive with the ordering of ingredients in your poll, btw.

I use mayo -- one of the few times I put it on anything -- and then bacon, then lettuce, then tomato, to minimize the slipperiness and to keep the bacon crisp, along with toasted bread, as the multiple textures are a big part of the sandwich's appeal, IMO.

Bread on the stack first, in response tomato, in response to that lettuce, in response to that bacon, in response to that bread, so it resolves in LIFO order - bread bacon lettuce tomato bread, pass priority.

Can’t say as I’ve ever made one! I’ve bought many, but never really checked to see the order the ingredients were stacked.

I use mayo in my BLTs - spread on both slices of toast. I usually start with one slice of toast - mayo - tomato - lettuce - bacon - other slice of toast. I feel I can do better job of making sure the bacon stays put when I slice the sandwich if bacon is the top layer.

Start with bread (and by bread I of course mean toast) and add a healthy layer of mayo. Onto the mayo directly place your slices of tomato. Add cracked pepper directly on tomato. Top with bacon, followed by lettuce (though honestly this order matter the least).

You can make a BLT any number of ways, but this is the best way to do it.

Bread, mayo, hot sauce, bacon, tomato, salt and pepper, mayo, bread.

Bread, lettuce, bacon, tomato, condiments, lettuce, bread.

Bread, mayo, lettuce leafs, bacon, tomato, mayo, thin sliced lettuce, bread. Lettuce prevents the bread from being soaked by water from the tomato.
