Adding a layer of butter before the toppings will prevent the bread from becoming soggy.
BLT Tea Sandwiches
Things You'll Need
6 slices bacon
2 Tbsp. butter
1 Tbsp. mustard and/or mayo
1 tomato, sliced with seeds removed
4 romaine lettuce leaves
1. Prepare the bacon
Place the bacon strips in a single layer in a cold pan and let them cook over medium heat. Use tongs to flip the bacon strips occasionally so that they cook evenly on both sides. Once ready, put them aside on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb the excess oil.
2. Assemble the sandwiches
Spread a layer of butter on both slices and then add a layer of mayo and/or mustard. Add the lettuce, tomato, and bacon strips. Place the second slice of bread on top, toppings side down, to make a sandwich. Slice off the crust and slice through the middle to make sandwich triangles.
