Preheat a skillet over medium heat.
Cook the bacon slices in the skillet until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess grease.
While the bacon is cooking, slice the tomato into thick slices and set aside.
In a small bowl, mash the avocado with a fork. Add olive oil, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice to the avocado and mix well to make a spread.
Toast the bread slices until golden brown, either in a toaster or on a dry skillet.
Spread a generous amount of the avocado mixture on each slice of toasted bread.
On two of the avocado-spread bread slices, layer the dairy-free gouda slices, crispy bacon, romaine lettuce leaves, and tomato slices evenly.
Top each sandwich with the remaining avocado-spread bread slices.
Gently press each sandwich together and slice in half if desired. Serve immediately.
