Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until they're crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Flip them halfway through to ensure even cooking. Once cooked, place the bacon on a paper towel to drain excess grease.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Wash the lettuce leaves thoroughly and pat them dry. Slice the tomato into thin rounds.

  3. 3

    Toast the Bread (Optional)

    If desired, toast the wheat berry bread slices in a toaster or on a skillet until they're golden brown.

Assembly

  1. 4

    Spread the Mayonnaise

    Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on one side of each slice of toasted or untoasted wheat berry bread.

  2. 5

    Layer the Ingredients

    On two of the slices, layer the crispy bacon, followed by the lettuce, and then the tomato slices. Sprinkle a pinch of salt and black pepper over the tomato slices.

  3. 6

    Complete the Sandwich

    Top with the remaining slices of bread, mayonnaise side down, to complete the sandwich. Press gently to hold it together.

Serving

  1. 7

    Slice and Serve

    Slice the sandwiches in half diagonally and serve immediately. Enjoy your delicious B.L.T. sandwich!
