Is the bread for a BLT supposed to be toasted or grilled or soft?

Thanks.

I toast mine, husband doesn’t

Toasted.

So when preparing, toast the bread alone in a toaster?

Or toasted as in, the entire sandwich goes on a flattop grill?

I like mine slightly toasted. I toast it before because I like the lettuce and tomato not heated. But I toast the bread only slightly so it is not completely dried out and is soft when you bite into it, but the outermost layers are toasted.

BLTs should be served as one likes it As for how to toast...I wouldn’t recommend roasting it all together being that two main ingredients are lettuce and tomato. FWIW I don’t like mine toasted.

I toast then assemble.

Lightly toasted before assembly.

Like others I prefer to lightly toast the bread prior to making. I think the lightly roasting bread holds up to tomato juices better. To me nothing ruins a sandwich like soggy bread, yuck.

Non toasted camp here. To combat this I use a heartier bread like marble rye or sourdough and stack BLTLB. Works like a charm.

See, when I have tried this the tomato juices just roll off the lettuce onto the plate so a I can’t put the sandwich back down in the tomato puddle or it gets soggy. But if that’s working for you I’m jealous!
