BLT.
Bacon. Lettuce. Tomato.
It seems like such a simple little sandwich.
Tried and true.
Amazing with fresh tomato out of the garden.
Or basil.
Yes, I said basil.
We had fresh tomatoes and basil in our CSA from Hen House a couple of weeks ago. So Hubs and I fried up some bacon and made “Grown-Up” BLTs. But for fun, I threw on some fresh basil on my sandwich.
HOLY COW!
Why hadn’t I done this sooner? It was out of this world.
Hence the name and me sharing – the “Out-of-This World” Grown-Up BLT.
“Out-of-This World” Grown-Up BLT
