Main Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- 1
Cook the Bacon
In a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy, about 8-10 minutes. Flip the bacon occasionally for even cooking. Once done, transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease.
- 2
Prepare the Tomato
While the bacon is cooking, slice the large tomato into thin rounds. Set aside.
- 3
Wash and Prepare the Lettuce
Wash the lettuce leaves thoroughly under running water, then pat dry with a clean towel. Tear the leaves into manageable pieces, if necessary.
- 4
Toast the Sourdough Bread
In the same skillet used for the bacon, toast the sourdough bread slices until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Alternatively, you can use a toaster.
- 5
Spread Mayonnaise
Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on one side of each slice of toasted sourdough bread.
