When Smitten Kitchen’s Deb Perelman decided to make BLTs for her family, she vowed not to mess with them. There’s white bread and full-fat mayonnaise. There isn’t kale in place of iceberg. Definitely no turkey bacon. “A perfect BLT is a pure and delicious thing that I wanted my kids to experience properly, especially since we only have them a couple of times a year.” Grilling the bacon helps stretch the summery vibes into fall, and as a bonus you’ll save your kitchen from a greasy mess.
