Ingredients

• 4 slices Thick-cut bacon
• 1 medium Ripe tomato
• 2 leaves Romaine or iceberg lettuce leaves
• 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
• 2 slices Sandwich bread (white, whole wheat, or sourdough)
• 1 pinch Salt
• 1 pinch Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Unsalted butter (optional, for toasting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat a skillet or frying pan over medium heat.

Step 2

Cook the bacon slices in the skillet for 5-7 minutes, flipping occasionally, until crispy and golden brown. Remove the bacon and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease.

Step 3

While the bacon cooks, slice the tomato into thin rounds. Sprinkle a pinch of salt and black pepper over the slices for flavor.

Step 4

If desired, spread a thin layer of butter on one side of each slice of bread. Toast the bread butter-side down in a clean skillet over medium heat until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes per side.

Step 5

Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on one side of each slice of bread.

Step 6

Layer the sandwich starting with the lettuce leaves on one slice of bread, followed by the tomato slices, and the cooked bacon slices.

Step 7

Place the second slice of bread on top, mayonnaise side down, to complete the sandwich.

Step 8

Slice the sandwich in half diagonally if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
