Ingredients

• 8 slices Bacon
• 2 medium Ripe tomato
• 4 leaves Romaine lettuce
• 8 leaves Fresh basil leaves
• 4 tablespoons Mayonnaise
• 8 slices Sourdough bread
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat a skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

Cook the bacon slices in the skillet until they are crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the bacon from the pan and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.

Step 3

While the bacon cooks, slice the tomatoes evenly into 1/4-inch thick slices. Sprinkle the tomato slices with a pinch of salt and black pepper for seasoning.

Step 4

Rinse and pat dry the romaine lettuce and basil leaves.

Step 5

Spread 1/2 tablespoon of butter on one side of each slice of sourdough bread.

Step 6

Heat a clean skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the buttered side of the bread down on the skillet, toasting until golden brown (about 2 minutes). Remove from heat.

Step 7

Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise evenly on the unbuttered side of each piece of toasted bread.

Step 8

Assemble the sandwich: On four slices of the bread (mayonnaise side up), layer 2 slices of bacon, 2 slices of tomato, 1 romaine lettuce leaf, and 2 basil leaves.

Step 9

Top with the remaining slices of bread, mayonnaise side down. Gently press the sandwiches together.

Step 10

Slice each sandwich in half diagonally, if desired, and serve immediately. Enjoy your B B L T Sandwich!
