Reposted from 2023. We crammed half a dozen BLT's into last August and September, and will do the same this year. Then no more until 2026. This has also expanded into other tomato dishes I have been uninterested in for 70 years.

I have not been much of a tomato fan, and thus not a BLT fan. I usually have cheese instead of tomato, which people seldom notice, but when they do, it is with disapproval.
But it's Kenji, and when he said the sandwich should be conceived of as a tomato sandwich, not a bacon one, I figured I would give it a try. He starts out saying not to even bother until the good tomatoes come out in August. Now that it's August, I thought I'd put this up.
Best BLT I have ever had, by far. I recognise that this is not saying much, but I mention it anyway.

Well, when you're right, you're right. Personal preference is for Miracle Whip.
Hope you're feeling better, by the way.
Nothing goes wrong with cheese and bacon.
A very good "deconstructed" version of a BLT.
I'm horrified by the addition of Avocado to BLT. I mean, why??
Chewy, crumbly, salty bacon and the sweet, tart, juicy tomato is such a pleasing combination. I don't mind adding avocado in the least. Mayo is optional. Bread should have some texture; sourdough is good. I agree there's not much point unless the tomatoes are exceptionally in season.
