Best BLT You’ve Ever Tasted!
Years ago when I was catering, I used to make stuffed cherry tomatoes for events. I stuffed them with a mixture of bacon, scallions, parmesan cheese, parsley and mayonnaise and they flew off the table…I could never make enough!
The other night when I was making Bacon Lettuce & Tomato Sandwiches for dinner, I decided to use that recipe to make a variation on the classic BLT and OMG, it was so delicious!
I simply added scallions, parmesan cheese, salt and lots of freshly ground black pepper to the mayonnaise and assembled the sandwich as usual except I added avocado…it was definitely a WOW! We loved this sandwich and the Crazy Blonde BLT Sandwich was born…I’ll never make it any other way! For the full effect, you must serve it with jalapeno potato chips…we even put them on the sandwich and I’m telling you, it’s definitely the way to eat this BLT!
If you want to serve a crowd, you could put out the ingredients for the sandwiches, toasted bread, sliced tomato, crispy bacon, a bowl of the Parmesan Mayonnaise, lettuce and sliced avocado and let guests assemble their own! Don’t forget the potato chips!
These sandwiches are as pretty as they are delicious!
As always, I served these delicious BLT sandwiches on plates from Haand Pottery! I still have my discount code if you want to purchase - CRAZYBLONDELIFE is the code for 15% off your purchase!

I’m finally feeling somewhat caught up and ready to start a new week! I’ll be starting to clear out my closet for our closet/bathroom renovation! I’ll be sharing often as I begin to choose fixtures, bathtubs and cabinetry for the closet! Lots to do to get this project finished by Thanksgiving!
Thanks for reading and have an amazing Monday!
