Preheat your oven or stovetop to cook the bacon. If using an oven, set it to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Lay the bacon strips on the prepared baking sheet and cook in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until crispy. If using a stovetop, heat a skillet over medium heat, cook bacon until crispy, about 10 minutes, flipping occasionally, then drain on paper towels.
While the bacon is cooking, prepare the other ingredients. Wash and dry the lettuce leaves.
Slice the tomato into thin rounds.
If using, peel and slice the avocado.
Once the bacon is done, let it cool slightly before assembling the bagel.
Slice the low-carb bagels in half and toast them lightly if desired.
Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on each bottom half of the bagels.
Layer 2 lettuce leaves over the mayonnaise on each bagel.
Add two bacon strips on top of the lettuce on each bagel.
Layer the tomato slices over the bacon, dividing equally between the two bagels.
Optionally, add avocado slices on top of the tomatoes.
Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and black pepper to taste.
Place the top half of the bagel over the stack and gently press down.
Serve immediately and enjoy your low-carb BLT bagel!
