Start by preparing the bacon. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the bacon slices to the skillet and cook them until they are crispy, approximately 8-10 minutes, flipping occasionally. Once cooked, transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to drain the excess fat.
While the bacon is cooking, slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh with a spoon. Place the avocado in a small bowl and mash it with a fork until smooth. Season the mashed avocado with salt and black pepper, then set aside.
Wash and slice the tomato into thin slices and set aside.
Once the bacon is done, use the same skillet, keeping some bacon fat in the pan. Add olive oil if needed to ensure the eggs don't stick.
Crack the eggs into the skillet and cook them sunny-side-up or to your preferred doneness. Season the eggs lightly with salt and pepper.
To assemble the sandwich, place two large romaine lettuce leaves on a flat surface for each sandwich, representing the 'bun'.
Spread half of the mashed avocado over one lettuce leaf.
Top the avocado with tomato slices, two slices of bacon, and one cooked egg.
Finish by placing another lettuce leaf on top to complete the sandwich.
Secure each sandwich with a toothpick or wrap it in parchment paper to hold it together, if needed.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Paleo Classic Bacon and Egg Sandwich!
