Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Turn occasionally to ensure even cooking. Once cooked, place the bacon on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess grease.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Lettuce

    While the bacon is cooking, wash the lettuce under cold water. Remove any wilted leaves. Pat dry with a paper towel and tear the leaves into manageable pieces.

  3. 3

    Slice the Tomato

    Wash the tomatoes and slice them into 1/4 inch thick rounds.

  4. 4

    Toast the Bread (optional)

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

Assembly

  1. 5

    Spread Mayonnaise

    Evenly spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on one side of each slice of bread.

  2. 6

    Layer Ingredients

    On two slices of bread (mayonnaise side up), layer the lettuce, followed by the crispy bacon, and then the sliced tomatoes.

  3. 7

    Complete the Sandwich

    Top with the remaining slices of bread, mayonnaise side down. Press gently to hold everything together.

  4. 8

    Slice and Serve

    Using a sharp knife, slice the sandwich in half diagonally. Serve immediately with extra mayo or your choice of sides.
