Instructions

  1. Wash lettuce, dry, and slice it into thin shreds if desired. Slice tomatoes into thick slices.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the bacon in a single layer. Cook, turning occasionally, until crisp. Drain the bacon on a paper towel lined plate.
  3. Place the bread in a toaster and toast until lightly browned, butter if desired.
  4. Spread each slice of bread with 1 tablespoon mayonnaise.
  5. Top with bacon, tomatoes and lettuce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Cut in half and serve.

Notes

  • To cook bacon in the oven, preheat oven to 400°F. Place parchment paper on a rimmed baking sheet, place slices on the baking sheet, then bake for 18-20 minutes or until crisp.
  • Bread can be toasted 4-inches from the broiler for 3 minutes or until lightly toasted.
