Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Bacon

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add the bacon slices. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until crispy. Once cooked, transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Lettuce and Tomato

    While the bacon is cooking, rinse the lettuce under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Tear into bite-sized pieces. For the tomato, wash it thoroughly, then slice it into thin rounds.

  3. 3

    Toast the Bread (Optional)

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

Assembly

  1. 4

    Spread Mayonnaise

    Take two slices of bread and spread 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise on each slice.

  2. 5

    Layer Ingredients

    On one slice of bread, layer the cooked bacon evenly. Next, add the lettuce pieces followed by the tomato slices. Season the tomato with a pinch of salt and pepper if desired.

  3. 6

    Complete the Sandwich

    Top with the second slice of bread, mayonnaise side down. Press gently to secure the layers together.

  4. 7

    Slice and Serve

    Cut the sandwich in half diagonally or straight down the middle. Serve immediately with additional sides as desired.
