1
Cook the Bacon
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until they are crispy, about 7-10 minutes. Turn occasionally to ensure even cooking.
2
Prepare the Vegetables
While the bacon is cooking, wash the romaine lettuce leaves and pat them dry. Slice the tomato into thick slices and set aside. Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, scoop out the flesh, and slice it thinly.
3
Toast the Bread
Once the bacon is cooked, remove it from the skillet and drain on paper towels. In the same skillet, lightly toast the bread slices on both sides until golden brown.
4
Assemble the Sandwich
Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on one side of each slice of toasted bread. On two slices, layer the crispy bacon, lettuce leaves, tomato slices, and avocado slices. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
5
Finish the Sandwich
Top the sandwiches with the remaining two slices of bread, mayonnaise side down. Press down gently to secure the layers.
6
Serve
Cut the sandwiches in half and serve immediately, optionally with a side of chips or pickles.
