The griddle is the perfect way to get crisp bacon and a beautiful toast on the bread. Plus, you can cook for an army in the same amount of time it would take you to cook for one. No soggy spots, no shortcuts. The marinated garden-fresh tomatoes bring in a bold balsamic kick that balances the salty bacon and creamy mayo just right.

The mayo-toasted bread is more than a trick, it's a method that gives your sandwich a golden crust and added richness without overpowering the other layers. You can swap out the bread or greens, but don't skip the tomato marinade. That's what sets my Blackstone Marinated BLT apart. The mix of balsamic, olive oil, herbs, and seasoning turns even basic tomatoes into the star of the show.

Keep them in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 2 days. The longer they sit, the stronger the flavor.
You can prep the tomatoes and bacon ahead of time. Just reheat the bacon on the griddle and assemble fresh when ready.
Thick white or sourdough works best. It holds up to the fillings and gets that golden toast on the griddle.
Try turkey bacon for a leaner option. Romaine or butter lettuce instead of iceberg. Use a whole grain or ciabatta roll if you want to switch up the bread.
