Total Time:20 minutes
Yield:2 sandwiches
Ingredients
Bacon
8 slices cooked bacon
12 slices cooked bacon
Bread and Spread
4 slices bread (white, whole wheat, or sourdough)
4 tablespoons mayonnaise
Vegetables and Seasoning
4 leaves lettuce (romaine or iceberg)
4 slices ripe tomato
Salt, to taste
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
Prepare vegetables: Wash and dry the lettuce leaves thoroughly, then slice the tomatoes into thick slices for optimal freshness and texture.
Toast and spread: Toast the bread slices to your liking. Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise evenly on one side of each toasted slice.
Assemble sandwich base: On two slices of the bread, mayonnaise side up, layer the lettuce leaves evenly to create a fresh bed.
Add tomato and seasoning: Place the tomato slices on top of the lettuce and season them lightly with salt and freshly ground black pepper to enhance the flavors.
Add bacon: Layer 4 to 6 slices of cooked bacon on top of the tomatoes for each sandwich, depending on your desired bacon intensity.
Complete the sandwich: Top the bacon with the remaining bread slices, mayonnaise side down. Press gently to hold the sandwich together.
Slice and serve: Slice each sandwich in half if preferred and serve immediately to enjoy the perfect balance of crispy, fresh, and creamy textures.
Notes
For extra crunch, use fresh iceberg lettuce instead of romaine.
Mayonnaise can be substituted with avocado spread or mustard for variety.
To make it gluten free, use gluten-free bread.
Cook bacon to your preferred crispiness; thicker slices add more texture.
Serve with a side of chips or a light salad for a complete meal.
