Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Turn occasionally for even cooking. Once done, place them on a paper towel to drain excess grease.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Vegetables

    While the bacon is cooking, wash and dry the lettuce leaves. Slice the large tomato into even slices.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Mayo Spread

    In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise with salt and black pepper to taste. Adjust seasoning as preferred.

Assembly

  1. 4

    Toast the Bread

    Toast the slices of bread until golden brown. This will add texture and prevent sogginess from the mayonnaise.

  2. 5

    Build the Sandwich

    Spread a tablespoon of the seasoned mayonnaise on one side of each slice of toasted bread. On two of the slices, layer the crispy bacon, followed by the lettuce, and then the tomato slices. Top with the remaining slices of bread, mayo side down.
