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
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
Slice the Tomato
Wash the tomatoes and slice them into 1/4 inch thick rounds.
4
Toast the Bread (optional)
If desired, toast the bread slices in a toaster or on a skillet until golden brown.

5
Spread Mayonnaise
Evenly spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on one side of each slice of bread.
6
Layer Ingredients
On two slices of bread (mayonnaise side up), layer the lettuce, followed by the crispy bacon, and then the sliced tomatoes.
7
Complete the Sandwich
Top with the remaining slices of bread, mayonnaise side down. Press gently to hold everything together.
8
Slice and Serve
Using a sharp knife, slice the sandwich in half diagonally. Serve immediately with extra mayo or your choice of sides.
