Your new favorite BLT is here
If you’ve never had a BLT with everything seasoning, prepare to have your life changed.
Growing up, my mom’s go-to lunch was a tomato sandwich on toasted bread with a little butter, salt, and pepper. Simple. Classic. Perfect. And while I still love the OG version for what it was, this version? She’s got a glow-up. I wanted to honor that nostalgia of my mom’s sandwich but bring in a little plant-based goodness, and turns out… this is hands-down the best BLT I’ve ever had. Vegan or not, you’ll love it.
The Secret is in the Seasoning
The magic here is a combo of thickly sliced, crispy tempeh bacon (you can grab my full recipe here), juicy tomatoes, fresh crisp lettuce, and a thick sprinkle of Everything Bagel seasoning. You can spread vegan mayo or butter on your bread—both work. I try to opt for a high fiber bread and toast it up.
This sandwich is customizable, wildly satisfying, and comes together in minutes. It’s one of those lunches you’ll find yourself reaching for again and again, especially when heirloom tomatoes are in season in the summer and it’s too hot to turn on the oven. Slice them thick, sprinkle and you’ve got yourself the dreamiest little sandwich moment.
