This upgraded BLT brings together all the classics with a modern, flavor-packed twist. Crispy, smoky bacon meets juicy ripe tomatoes, crisp lettuce, crisp arugula microgreens and buttery avocado for the perfect balance of texture and richness. Finished with a spread of whole grain mustard, it adds a tangy, slightly sharp bite that cuts through the fat and ties everything together beautifully. Built on toasted bread, this sandwich is hearty, satisfying, and packed with fresh, vibrant flavor — perfect for lunch, brunch, or an easy gourmet bite.
