Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices bacon
- 2 leaves lettuce
- 1 medium tomato
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 slices white or whole wheat bread
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pinch black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) if you prefer cooking bacon in the oven. Alternatively, you can use a stovetop skillet.
Arrange the bacon slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper if using the oven, or place them in a cold skillet.
Cook bacon in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or in the skillet over medium heat, turning occasionally until crispy and golden brown, about 10 minutes.
While the bacon is cooking, wash the lettuce leaves and pat dry using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
Slice the tomato into 1/4-inch thick rounds and lightly season them with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Toast the slices of bread in a toaster until golden brown.
Once the bacon is cooked, transfer it to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess fat.
Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise onto each slice of toasted bread.
Layer the lettuce leaves evenly on one slice of bread followed by the tomato slices. Add the crispy bacon slices on top.
Close the sandwich with the second slice of bread, mayonnaise side down.
Gently press down on the sandwich to hold it together.
Slice the sandwich diagonally and serve immediately.
