Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Bacon

    In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy, about 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally. Once done, place the bacon on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess grease.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Vegetables

    While the bacon is cooking, wash and dry the lettuce leaves. Slice the tomato into thin rounds.

Assembling the Sandwich

  1. 3

    Toast the Bread

    If desired, toast the slices of bread in a toaster or on a skillet until golden brown.

  2. 4

    Spread the Mayonnaise

    Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on one side of each slice of bread.

  3. 5

    Layer the Ingredients

    On two slices of bread, layer lettuce leaves, followed by tomato slices, and then the cooked bacon. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper to taste.

  4. 6

    Complete the Sandwich

    Top with the remaining slices of bread, mayonnaise side down. Press down gently to secure the layers.

Serving

  1. 7

    Slice and Serve

    Slice the sandwiches in half diagonally and serve immediately.
