The World’s Best BLT

It is no exaggeration to call this sandwich the world’s best; this classic sandwich is elevated by the addition of a pesto mayo and a Dijon and balsamic dressing. Topped with creamy and rich melted Alemar Cheese Co. Bent River Camembert, and perfectly nestled in a fresh La Brea French Baguette, a BLT will never be ordinary again!
