The Ultimate BLT You’ll Crave All Summer

I’m here to introduce you to the Ultimate BLT sandwich. Hands down the best BLT of my Life – No really… trust me on this one. 

I love sandwiches. I’m talking full-blown fan-girl for Subway, Jimmy John’s, and Jersey Mike’s. But I always battled with the fact that homemade sandwiches never quite hit the same, until now. 

Let me introduce you to my ultimate BLT recipe! I kept seeing variations of it pop up on Pinterest and finally gave it a shot. And wow… I’m so glad I did. It’s simple, craveable, and the perfect quick meal as we head into summer.
