Instructions
Cook the bacon: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
Toast the bread: Lightly toast the bread slices in a toaster or on a skillet until golden brown. This adds crunch to your sandwich.
Prepare the vegetables: Wash and dry the lettuce leaves. Slice the tomato into thin rounds and season lightly with salt and black pepper.
Assemble the sandwich: Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on one side of each toasted bread slice.
Layer the ingredients: On two slices of bread, place the lettuce, followed by tomato slices, and then the crispy bacon.
Complete the sandwich: Top with the remaining bread slices, mayo-side down. Cut the sandwiches in half diagonally and serve immediately.
Chef's Tips
- Bacon Tip: For extra crispiness, bake the bacon in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes instead of frying.
- Bread Choice: Use thick-cut sourdough or artisanal bread for a more robust texture.
- Extra Flavor: Add a slice of avocado or a fried egg for a richer sandwich.
- Mayo Variations: Mix a little garlic powder or hot sauce into the mayo for extra flavor.
- Serving Suggestion: Pair with a side of pickles or potato chips for a classic diner-style meal.
