Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 8 oz thick-cut bacon or regular slices
- 4 oz sandwich bread about 4 slices
- 3 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 cup ripe tomato, sliced
- 2 cup crisp lettuce leaves romaine or iceberg
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter for toasting, optional
- 0.25 tsp kosher salt to taste
- 0.25 tsp black pepper freshly ground
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a sheet pan with foil and arrange bacon in a single layer.
- Bake bacon until browned and crisp, 12–15 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain.
- Rinse and dry lettuce. Slice tomato and blot excess moisture with a paper towel.
- Toast bread lightly. Spread butter on one side if using, then toast briefly for golden edges.
- Spread mayonnaise over one side of each slice of toast.
- Layer bacon on two slices. Add tomato and lettuce, then season with salt and pepper.
- Top with remaining bread, mayo side down. Press gently, slice, and serve warm.
Notes
Variation: Add avocado slices or a swipe of hot sauce. Try sourdough for extra crunch. Make-ahead tip: Cook bacon up to 3 days ahead and chill; re-crisp briefly in a skillet. For best texture, assemble just before eating, or pack components separately for lunches.
