Start by preheating a skillet over medium heat.
Add the bacon strips to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until crispy.
While the bacon is cooking, slice the tomato into medium-thick slices and set aside.
Once cooked, remove the bacon from the skillet and drain on paper towels.
Butter one side of each bread slice using 1 teaspoon per slice.
Toast the bread in the same skillet (buttered side down) over medium heat until golden brown, about 2 minutes on each side.
Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on each slice of toasted bread.
Layer the lettuce on top of one slice of bread, followed by the sliced tomato, and sprinkle with salt and black pepper.
Place the crispy bacon on top of the tomatoes.
Close the sandwich with the second slice of bread, mayonnaise side down.
Cut the sandwich in half diagonally and serve immediately.
