Top with seasoned tomato slices and lettuce. Spread remaining 3 pancakes with mayonnaise; place mayonnaise side down over lettuce to make sandwiches.

  • You can use bamboo skewers or long toothpicks to hold the sandwiches together.
  • Use an ice pack to keep sandwiches chilled in the lunchbox.
  • If the BLT is not your kids’ favorite sandwich, fill the pancakes with anything that they would like—cream cheese and cucumber, hazelnut spread with cocoa and banana, ham and cheese, tomato and fresh mozzarella are some alternatives.
