"This is a sandwich that warrants no introduction—the name says it all. While I've had my fair share of sad, limp, and dry BLTs, this one is far from that. Frying the bacon in a pan just gives you more control and keeps them frying in all their glorious fat, but you can also bake them until crisp in the oven. I also prefer to toast my bread in a pan, buttered up on both sides, as it keeps the inside of the bread soft and gives a nice crunch to the outside. Be generous with the mayo (use Japanese Kewpie if you have it!) and don't skip seasoning the tomatoes—that makes a world of difference!"
