I’ve been a huge fan of BLTs for decades, and I’ve made this classic sandwich more times than I can count. One of the main things I’ve learned from making countless BLTs – of both the traditional and vegan variety – is that in order to surpass the ordinary, you must use great ingredients and the right techniques, such as pan frying the bread. It’s like the difference between a grilled cheese on two pieces of generic, flavorless white bread, or a grilled cheese on tasty artisan bread.
