Sometimes you just want a quick meal that will not only feed your body but also feed your soul. A great sandwich almost has a superpower of making you feel sated and happy, but you don’t need to have something fancy. Why don’t you go with a classic BLT sandwich, also known as bacon, lettuce and tomato.

Even though these ingredients are super simple, you can elevate it with a few tricks. Use your favourite bread, weather it be a baguette, ciabatta or wholewheat roll, spread some butter or mayo on it and give it a light toast for more crunch. Some extra red onions go great with the crispy bacon and fresh lettuce but don’t forget some freshly ground black pepper. You’ll remember what a great sandwich is supposed to taste like.
