Ingredients

For the Sandwich

2 slices slices of bread (toasted, if you prefer) Use your favorite type of bread
3-4 slices slices of crispy bacon Turkey bacon can be used as a substitute
1-2 leaves leaves of fresh lettuce (Romaine or Iceberg)
1 medium medium tomato, sliced
to taste Mayonnaise Spread generously
to taste Salt and pepper

Method

Cooking the Bacon

In a skillet over medium heat, fry your bacon slices until they’re nice and crispy. (Pro tip: If they curl up on you, just give 'em a little press with a spatula!) Once done, drain on paper towels to remove excess grease.

Toasting the Bread

If you enjoy a little crunch, pop your slices of bread in the toaster to get golden brown perfection. But hey, if you’re not a toast person, feel free to skip this step.

Assembling the Sandwich

Spread a generous layer of mayonnaise on one side of each slice of bread. It’s essential!
Layer: place your crispy bacon on one slice, followed by the lettuce leaves, and top with tomato slices. Sprinkle a little salt and pepper for good measure.
Top it all off with the second slice of bread, mayo side down.
Cut your sandwich in half diagonally.
Grab a plate and your favorite side—maybe some chips or a simple salad—and enjoy!

Notes

For a less greasy result, try cooking bacon in the oven on a foil-lined baking sheet at 400°F for about 20 minutes. To increase veggie content, add avocado or cucumber for extra crunch.
