Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Bacon

    In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until they are crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Flip them halfway through for even cooking. Once done, transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Vegetables

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

  3. 3

    Toast the Bread

    In the same skillet used for the bacon or a toaster, toast the bread slices until golden brown on both sides.

Assembly

  1. 4

    Spread Mayonnaise

    On one side of each slice of toasted bread, spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise evenly.

  2. 5

    Layer the Ingredients

    On two of the slices of bread (mayonnaise side up), layer the crispy bacon slices, followed by the lettuce leaves, and then the tomato slices. If desired, season with salt and pepper.

  3. 6

    Complete the Sandwich

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

  4. 7

    Slice and Serve

    Carefully slice the sandwiches in half diagonally and serve immediately. Enjoy your delicious BLT!
