Sandwich Ingredients

Sides

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Wash and dry the lettuce leaves. Slice the tomato into thin rounds. Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh. Slice the avocado into thin slices.

  3. 3

    Toast the Bread

    Toast the slices of bread in a toaster until golden brown. This step is optional but recommended for added texture.

  4. 4

    Spread the Mayo

    Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on one side of each slice of toasted bread.

Assembly

  1. 5

    Layer the Ingredients

    On one slice of bread, layer the crispy bacon, followed by the lettuce, tomato slices, American cheese, and avocado slices.

  2. 6

    Top the Sandwich

    Place the other slice of bread on top, mayo side down, to complete the sandwich.

  3. 7

    Slice and Serve

    Cut the sandwich in half diagonally and serve with a side of chips and a pickle.
