1
Cook the Bacon
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Flip occasionally for even cooking. Once cooked, transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
2
Prepare the Vegetables
While the bacon is cooking, wash and dry the lettuce leaves. Slice the tomato into thin rounds. If using avocado, slice it into thin pieces as well.
3
Toast the Bread
In the same skillet (or a separate one), toast the Texas toast slices until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. You can add a little butter for extra flavor if you like.

4
Spread Mayonnaise
Spread one tablespoon of mayonnaise on one side of each slice of toasted Texas toast.
5
Layer Ingredients
On two slices of toast, layer the crispy bacon, followed by the lettuce and tomato slices. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. If using avocado, add it here.
6
Complete the Sandwich
Top each sandwich with the remaining slices of toasted bread, mayonnaise side down. Press down gently to secure the layers.

7
Slice and Serve
Slice the sandwiches in half diagonally and serve immediately. Optionally, drizzle with hot sauce for extra flavor.
