In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined. Adjust seasoning to taste, adding more salt or pepper if desired. Set aside.
Cooking the Bacon

Cook the Bacon
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Flip occasionally to ensure even cooking. Once cooked, remove from skillet and place on paper towels to drain excess fat.
Assembling the Sandwich

Prepare the Bread
Toast the slices of bread in a toaster or on a skillet until golden brown. This will add flavor and prevent the bread from getting soggy.

Slice the Tomato
While the bread is toasting, wash and slice the large tomato into even slices.

Assemble the Sandwich
Spread a generous amount of garlic aioli on one side of each slice of toasted bread. On two slices, layer the crispy bacon, followed by the lettuce and then the tomato slices. Top with the remaining slices of bread, aioli side down.
