Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Begin by cooking the bacon until crispy. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the bacon slices. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they reach your desired level of crispiness. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.

  2. 2

    While the bacon is cooking, wash and dry the lettuce leaves. Tear them into smaller pieces if desired.

  3. 3

    Wash the tomatoes, remove the stems, and slice them into thin rounds.

Assembly

  1. 4

    Toast the Bread

    If desired, toast the slices of bread until golden brown. This will add a nice crunch to your sandwich.

  2. 5

    Spread the Mayo

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

  3. 6

    Layer the Ingredients

    On two slices of bread, start layering the ingredients: add a handful of lettuce, followed by a few slices of tomato, two slices of crispy bacon, and one slice of provolone cheese. Top with the remaining slices of bread, mayo side down.

  4. 7

    Serve

    Slice the sandwiches in half if desired and serve immediately. Enjoy your Da Paniolo!
