1
Cook the Bacon
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until they are crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Flip occasionally to ensure even cooking.
2
Prepare the Lettuce and Tomato
While the bacon is cooking, wash and dry the lettuce leaves. Tear or chop them into bite-sized pieces. Slice the tomato into even rounds.
3
Toast the Bread
Once the bacon is done, remove it from the skillet and drain on paper towels. In the same skillet (for extra flavor), lightly toast the slices of bread until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
4
Make the Mayo Spread
In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Adjust the seasoning to taste.

5
Layer the Sandwich
On two slices of toasted bread, spread a generous amount of the mayo mixture. Layer with crispy bacon, followed by the lettuce and tomato slices. Top with the remaining slices of toasted bread.
6
Serve
Cut the sandwich in half if desired and serve immediately. Enjoy your delicious BLT!
