These lighter BLTs skip the bread and put major emphasis on the bacon - which is what we all really want. We replaced the mayo with greek yogurt to help make these lighter as well, but you can use the traditional mayonnaise or even sour cream if you prefer. Be sure to sue cooking spray to help keep the bacon from sticking and remove them when still quite warm so they don't harden to the pan!
