1
Cook the Bacon
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Turn occasionally for even cooking. Once cooked, transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess grease.
2
Prepare the Vegetables
While the bacon is cooking, wash the lettuce leaves thoroughly and pat them dry with a paper towel. Slice the large tomato into even slices, about 1/4 inch thick.
3
Toast the Bread (Optional)
If desired, lightly toast the wheat bread slices in a toaster or on a skillet until golden brown.

4
Spread Mayonnaise
Take two slices of toasted or un-toasted wheat bread and spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on one side of each slice.
5
Add Lettuce and Tomato
On one slice of bread with mayonnaise, layer the lettuce leaves followed by a few slices of tomato.
6
Add Bacon
Place 3 slices of crispy bacon over the tomato layer.
7
Complete the Sandwich
Top with the second slice of bread, mayonnaise side down. Gently press down to secure the sandwich.
8
Slice and Serve
Using a sharp knife, slice the sandwich in half diagonally and serve immediately.
