BLT-style bacon, lettuce and tomato sub

Crispy streaky bacon with shredded lettuce, ripe tomato and mayo on a toasted sub roll — simple, classic, satisfying.

Ingredients

• 12 rashers streaky bacon
• 2 sub rolls (about 9-inch)
• Shredded iceberg, 2 ripe tomato slices, sliced red onion
• 4 tbsp mayonnaise
• Salt and pepper

Method

1. Grill bacon on a wire rack over a tray (so it crisps not stews) for 6-8 minutes until deep golden and crisp. Drain on kitchen paper.

2. Toast sub rolls cut-side up under the grill 2 minutes.

3. Build: mayo on both halves, lettuce on the bottom, then tomato, season with salt and pepper, then bacon, then onion.

4. Close, press gently, eat.

Notes

Bacon on a wire rack is the difference between crispy and floppy.
