1
Cook the Bacon
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Turn occasionally for even cooking. Once done, remove from the skillet and drain on paper towels.
2
Prepare the Lettuce and Tomato
While the bacon is cooking, wash and dry the lettuce. Tear it into bite-sized pieces. Slice the tomato into thick slices.
3
Prepare the Optional Ingredients
If using, slice the ham or turkey into thin slices.

4
Spread Mayonnaise
Take one slice of bread and spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise evenly on one side. Repeat with the second slice of bread.
5
Layer the Ingredients
On the mayonnaise side of the first slice of bread, layer the lettuce, followed by the tomato slices, and then the crispy bacon. If using, add the ham or turkey slices and top with a slice of Swiss cheese.
6
Finish the Sandwich
Place the second slice of bread mayonnaise side down on top of the layered ingredients. Press gently to hold everything together.

7
Cut and Serve
Cut the sandwich diagonally in half and serve immediately. Enjoy your delicious BLT!
