Method

Preparation of Ingredients

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tomato

    Slice the medium tomato into thin slices and set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Lettuce

    Wash the Romaine lettuce leaves and pat dry. Set aside.

Cooking the Bacon

  1. 3

    Cook the Bacon

    In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the thick-cut bacon until crispy, about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally. Once cooked, transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess fat.

Assembling the Sandwich

  1. 4

    Toast the Bread

    In the same skillet, toast the sourdough bread slices for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.

  2. 5

    Spread the Mayonnaise

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

  3. 6

    Layer the Ingredients

    On two slices of bread, layer the Romaine lettuce leaves, followed by the tomato slices, and then place the crispy bacon on top. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  4. 7

    Complete the Sandwich

    Top with the remaining slices of bread, mayonnaise side down, and press gently.

Serving

  1. 8

    Serve

    Cut the sandwiches in half and serve immediately with chips or pickles on the side.
