Preheat a skillet or frying pan over medium heat.
Lay the bacon slices in the pan without overlapping. Cook for about 4-6 minutes, flipping halfway, until crispy. Adjust cook time based on your desired crispness.
Transfer the cooked bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease.
While the bacon is cooking, wash the lettuce leaves and pat them dry with a paper towel.
Slice the tomato into thin, even rounds and sprinkle with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Toast the bread slices until golden brown in a toaster or on a skillet over medium heat.
Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on one side of each slice of toasted bread.
Assemble the sandwich by layering lettuce leaves, tomato slices, and bacon on one slice of bread. Top with the second slice of bread, mayonnaise-side down.
Gently press the sandwich together and slice it in half if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy your Classic BLT!
