The BLT is a classic – simple, satisfying, and always a crowd-pleaser. But sometimes, the classic just isn’t enough… Enter the Naughty BLT. This indulgent version takes things to the next level with crispy, crumbed, golden-fried bacon coated in Fogdog Premium Panko Breadcrumbs. It’s crunchy, salty, juicy, and unapologetically naughty – exactly how a BLT should be!
