Equipment
Ingredients
- 4 slices of your choice of bread
- 1 package of tempeh bacon or your favorite vegan bacon
- 1 large slicing tomato, thinly sliced
- Salt & pepper
- 6 leaves of romaine or iceberg lettuce
- Vegan mayo, to taste
Instructions
- Toast the bread and have it ready aside.
- Cook the vegan bacon according to package instructions.
- While the bacon cooks, lay the tomato slices flat on the cutting board and sprinkle some salt and pepper on them.
- Evenly spread the vegan mayo on all 4 bread slices, place 3 leaves of lettuce on two of the slices, then add the tomato slices on top of both lettuces, top with 3 strips of vegan bacon on each sandwich.
- Top with the other slices of bread and cut in half.
Notes
Change things up by mixing 4 tablespoons of pesto, sriracha, or chipotle into the vegan mayo.
- Don’t overly toast the bread: While it’s not technically necessary to toast the bread (but it is highly recommended), if you do, make sure not to overly toast the bread. Lightly toasted bread will make a sturdier sandwich and add crunch without hurting the roof of your mouth.
- To save time: Prepare a big batch of vegan bacon and refrigerate or freeze it for every time you have a vegan BLT craving.
- Experiment with ingredients: Try out different breads, types of vegan bacon, and other ‘add-ins’ to find your perfect combination.
