Notes
One important thing to note when making a BLT sandwich is to use ripe and flavorful tomatoes. The tomato slices should be juicy and full of flavor as they contribute significantly to the overall taste of the sandwich. If the tomatoes are bland or not fully ripe, it can affect the overall deliciousness of your BLT. So, choose ripe and quality tomatoes for the best results.
