Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices low-sodium bacon
- 4 slices soft whole wheat bread
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 medium ripe tomato
- 0.25 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
Instructions
Preheat a frying pan over medium heat.
Add the low-sodium bacon slices to the pan and cook until crispy. This should take about 4-5 minutes on each side. Once cooked, transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess fat.
While the bacon is cooking, wash the ripe tomato and slice it thinly.
Lightly spread unsalted butter on one side of each slice of whole wheat bread.
Once the bacon is finished, take the buttered bread slices and place them butter side down in the same pan with bacon drippings to lightly toast them, about 1-2 minutes.
Assemble each sandwich by placing two slices of bacon on the unbuttered side of one slice of toasted bread. Add a few slices of the ripe tomato on top of the bacon.
Sprinkle the freshly cracked black pepper over the tomato slices for added flavor.
Top with another slice of toasted bread, butter side up.
Slice the sandwich diagonally and serve immediately while warm.
