Cheesy Garlic Bread BLT

Cheesy Garlic Bread BLT is a classic sandwich amped up with flavor!  You’ll love the cheesy garlic sourdough bread that makes these BLT’S extra mouthwatering!

This sandwich is going to carry me all the way through summer!  As soon as the weather even hints at getting warmer I instantly crave a BLT.  Love bread, love sandwiches, the end.  I also really like taking a classic and making it a little “extra” in any way possible.  Other sandwiches I’m crushing on right now are my Hot Ham and Cheese and definitely The Perfect Reuben Sandwich.

What Do You Put On A BLT?

A typical BLT is pretty standard.  You typically have white bread, mayo, bacon, lettuce, and tomato.  For this version I’ve used sourdough bread that has been slathered in garlic butter, shredded sharp cheddar added, then toasted to perfection.  After that, I like to use Romaine lettuce for better flavor but you can use any lettuce you prefer.  Because the bread has tons of cheesy garlic flavor, I stuck with standard mayo, and you can always use a spicy of flavored mayonnaise too!

How To Make Cheesy Garlic Bread BLT:

This recipe makes two sandwiches as written.  Feel free to double or triple the recipe as needed.

First things first, get your griddle or a large non-stick skillet preheating.  As you can see in the first photo here, I lay my bread out on a cutting board and then spread the garlic butter mixture on one side of each slice of bread.

Once the bread is buttered evenly, flip the slices over and top evenly with the shredded cheese.  Note that I like to use shredded because it melts faster, but you can use sliced if you prefer.  Also feel free to mix up your cheese choice!  I can happily report that this is great with pepper jack, monterrey jack, and even mozzarella!

Next, lay your bread slices carefully onto your hot griddle or pan, butter side down.  You’ll have your pan over medium heat, and it won’t take more than 3-4 minutes to toast the bread and melt the cheese.  Once the cheese is melted, place the slices of bread back on the cutting board so that you can add all of your toppings!  I like to layer on mayo first, right over the melted cheese.  Then, add your bacon, tomato, and lettuce in any order desired.

I used Roma tomatoes for my sandwiches and three slices of bacon per sandwich.  Feel free to use any type of tomato you like best.  If you are a huge bacon lover, you can always stack more on!  I also don’t add an actual measurement for mayo in the recipe card, because that’s always personal choice.

Enjoy!
