Method

Preparing the Ingredients

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tomato

    Slice the medium tomato into thick slices. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper, allowing it to sit for a few minutes to enhance its flavor.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Lettuce

    Wash the romaine lettuce leaves under cold water. Pat them dry with a paper towel and set aside.

Cooking the Bacon

  1. 3

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, add the thick-cut bacon slices. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until crispy. Once cooked, place the bacon on a paper towel to drain excess grease.

Assembling the Sandwich

  1. 4

    Toast the Brioche Bread

    In the same skillet (drained of excess grease), add olive oil and toast the brioche bread slices on both sides until golden brown.

  2. 5

    Build the BLT

    On one slice of toasted brioche, layer the romaine lettuce, followed by the seasoned tomato slices, and then the crispy bacon. Top with the second slice of brioche.

Serving

  1. 6

    Serve the Sandwich

    Cut the sandwich in half if desired, and serve immediately while the bacon is still crispy.
