1
Cook the Bacon
In a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Turn occasionally for even cooking. Once cooked, transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
2
Prepare the Vegetables
While the bacon is cooking, wash the lettuce leaves thoroughly and pat them dry with a paper towel. Slice the tomato into thin rounds. Season the tomato slices with salt and pepper to taste.

3
Toast the Bread
Toast the slices of bread until golden brown using a toaster or a skillet. If using a skillet, toast both sides over medium heat for about 2-3 minutes each.
4
Spread Mayonnaise
Once the bread is toasted, spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on one side of each slice of bread.
5
Layer the Ingredients
On two of the slices of bread with mayonnaise, layer 2 pieces of bacon, 2 lettuce leaves, and a few slices of tomato. Top with the remaining slices of bread, mayonnaise side down, to create a sandwich.

6
Cut and Serve
Carefully cut each sandwich in half diagonally and serve immediately. Enjoy your classic BLT!
