Recipe Information
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)
Instructions
Preheat a skillet or frying pan over medium heat.
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.
While the bacon cooks, slice the tomato into thin rounds. Sprinkle a pinch of salt and black pepper over the slices for flavor.
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.
Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on one side of each slice of bread.
Layer the sandwich starting with the lettuce leaves on one slice of bread, followed by the tomato slices, and the cooked bacon slices.
Place the second slice of bread on top, mayonnaise side down, to complete the sandwich.
Slice the sandwich in half diagonally if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
