Ingredients
Scale
Meat
- 2 slices bacon
Bread
- 2 slices Texas toast (or your favorite sliced bread)
Condiments and Vegetables
- 1-2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 piece green leaf lettuce
- 2 slices tomato
Instructions
- Cook the Bacon: Add the bacon to a large skillet set over medium heat and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until crispy. This ensures the bacon is perfectly cooked and adds a savory crunch to your sandwich.
- Drain the Bacon: Remove the bacon from the skillet and place it on a paper towel lined plate to drain excess grease. Once cooled, break the bacon slices in half for easier layering.
- Assemble the Sandwich: Spread mayonnaise evenly on both slices of the bread. On one slice, layer the green leaf lettuce, tomato slices, and bacon halves. Top with the second slice of bread coated with mayonnaise.
- Serve: Serve the sandwich immediately to enjoy the perfect combination of crispy bacon and fresh vegetables on toasted bread.
Notes
- For extra flavor, consider toasting the bread lightly before assembling the sandwich.
- You can substitute Texas toast with whole wheat or sourdough bread.
- If you prefer less fat, use turkey bacon or reduce the amount of bacon.
- Customize with extra toppings like avocado or cheese if desired.
- Make sure to pat bacon dry well to avoid a soggy sandwich.
