BLT

The secret ingredient is always love… and mayo.

Dukes mayonnaise to be exact! Nothing beats a classic sandwich like a BLT! I love to add fresh herbs in my mayo like dill, cilantro, and parsley. Some fresh cracked pepper and give it a good stir. Toast some croissant bread or sourdough bread on one side, this keeps it soft on the outside for a squishy bite. Or toast both if you like for lots of crunch.

Fresh produce is very important. Pick ripe tomatoes with no bruises.

(Makes 2 sandwiches- adjust accordingly)

• 4 slices of sourdough or croissant bread
• 2 tbsp butter
