Method

Prepare the Bacon

  1. 1

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the hickory-smoked and honey-cured bacon until crispy, about 4-5 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels to remove excess grease.

Prepare the Spread

  1. 2

    Make the Mayo Spread

    In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Set aside.

Assemble the Sandwich

  1. 3

    Layer the Ingredients

    On a slice of whole wheat bread, spread a generous layer of the mayo mixture. Add a layer of fresh lettuce, followed by slices of ripe tomatoes, and then top with the crispy bacon. Finish with another slice of bread spread with mayo.

Serve

  1. 4

    Cut and Serve

    Cut the sandwich in half and serve immediately, or secure with toothpicks for easier handling.
