1
Cook the Bacon
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices for about 6-8 minutes, flipping occasionally, until they are crispy. Remove from the skillet and place on paper towels to drain excess grease.
2
Prepare the Vegetables
While the bacon is cooking, wash and dry the lettuce leaves. Slice the tomato into even slices and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
3
Toast the Bread
Toast the slices of bread in a toaster or on a skillet until golden brown.

4
Spread Mayonnaise
Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on one side of each slice of toasted bread.
5
Layer the Ingredients
On two of the slices of bread, layer the crispy bacon, followed by the lettuce, and then the tomato slices. Sprinkle additional salt and pepper if desired.
6
Complete the Sandwich
Top each sandwich with the remaining slices of bread, mayonnaise side down. Press gently to combine.

7
Slice and Serve
Slice the sandwiches in half if desired and serve immediately with chips or your choice of side.
