Here’s a great twist on the old standby! This Naan BLT with Sun Dried Tomato Mayo has just a few ingredients, so use the best quality bacon, organic butter lettuce and vine-ripe tomatoes you can find.
A bacon, lettuce, and tomato sandwich or, “BLT” was one of the first sandwiches invented in the history of mankind.
Not really 🙂 but it’s definitely been around forever, and for good reason.
Here’s a few of them:
- A BLT is a classic sandwich that’s easy, delicious and customizable.
- It’s also a very good idea when the thought of making anything else is a major turn-off.
- This recipe is simple and familiar, with comforting flavors.
- You’ll love this favorite sandwich, and want to make it again and again. This recipe comes together easily, like another solid weeknight favorite, Skillet Taco Bake or Shredded Chicken Burrito Bowls.
- I also like to serve a salad with this sometimes, maybe something like a Superfood Salad?
Ingredients You’ll Need
- Naan Bread: Large or small sized, found in the grocery store bakery or bread section.
- Bacon: Natural, unsulfured bacon with no nitrates. (TIP! Veggie bacon is a delicious alternative too!)
- Lettuce: Organic butter lettuce, please. A large, crispy piece will work nicely.
- Tomatoes: Firm, organic tomatoes, or even better, farmers market or home-grown.
- Pesto and Mayo: The pesto gets mixed with the mayo and becomes a whole new, completely delicious thing. Try it on grilled shrimp or chicken too.
Step by Step Instructions
- Stir the sun dried tomato pesto and mayonnaise together in a small bowl
- Bake the bacon in the oven until crispy and delicious
- Prep the naan bread by spritzing with a little water and warming it slightly in the microwave or oven. This helps it become bendable without breaking, and it tastes better, too
- Spoon the pesto/mayo mixture on the naan bread
- Add a big piece of butter lettuce and a few slices of fresh tomato
- Plus SEVERAL pieces of bacon 🙂
- Fold over, slice and eat!
Naan bread is a leavened, oven baked flatbread made with a dough that’s been enriched with eggs and yogurt. So good!
Paired with juicy sliced tomatoes, fresh butter lettuce, a flavorful sun-dried tomato mayonnaise and crispy bacon, you’ve got a great lunch or light dinner in 30 minutes or less.
Tips for this Recipe
- With so few ingredients in this recipe, seek out great quality. It really makes a difference!
- Oven times can vary, so check to see if your bacon is done at about 25 minutes. It can take up to 35 minutes or so.
- Remove fully cooked bacon to a side plate if some pieces cook quicker than others.
- After removing from the oven, place the cooked bacon on a plate lined with a few paper towels underneath to absorb any grease left from cooking.
- Naan bread comes in small and large sizes, I used large and sliced it in half for two servings.
Serving Ideas
- Place all of the ingredients on casual serving trays and let people make their own BLT. Add sliced cheeses and avocado too.
Or, prep the sandwiches in advance, but serve the sun dried tomato mayo on the side so they don’t get soggy. - Serve with pickled caper berries, olives or pickles plus good quality potato chips and an ice-cold beverage. 🙂
- This is a perfect lunch or casual dinner, especially when it’s warm outside. Cook the bacon in the morning, and the BLT’s come together in 15 minutes or less.
- Try a Frozen Pineapple Nectarine Slushee on the side and some salty chips too for a great lunch!
