Ingredients

  • Bacon (6 slices)
  • Bread (4 slices)
  • Mayonnaise (4 tablespoons)
  • Romaine Lettuce (4 leaves)
  • Tomato (1 large, sliced)
  • Salt (to taste)
  • Black Pepper (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon slices and cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Turn occasionally for even cooking.
  2. Once the bacon is crispy, remove it from the skillet and drain the excess fat on paper towels.

  4. Spread a tablespoon of mayonnaise on one side of each toasted bread slice.
  5. On two bread slices, layer a lettuce leaf, a few tomato slices, and three slices of crispy bacon. Season the layers with a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  6. Cover the seasoned layers with the remaining bread slices, mayonnaise side down.
  7. Cut the sandwiches in half diagonally for a classic presentation and serve immediately.
  8. Enjoy the delightful crunch of lettuce, the tanginess of ripe tomato, the creaminess of mayonnaise, and the smoky flavor of bacon in every bite.
