Bacon and Tomato Sandwiches

Instructions

1. Cook the Bacon

  1. Heat a skillet over medium heat.
  2. Fry bacon until crispy, about 3–4 minutes per side.
  3. Drain on paper towels.

2. Prepare the Bread

  1. Spread mayonnaise on each slice of bread.
  2. Optional: lightly toast or butter the bread for extra flavor and crunch.

3. Assemble the Sandwich

  1. Layer bacon slices on the bread.
  2. Add tomato slices on top.
  3. Season tomatoes with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  4. Add lettuce or basil if using.
  5. Top with remaining bread slice.

4. Serve

  • Cut sandwiches in half and serve immediately.
  • Perfect with potato chips, pickles, or a side salad.

Tips:

  • For extra flavor, try spreading a little Dijon mustard or garlic aioli along with the mayo.
  • Use heirloom tomatoes in season—they’re juicier and sweeter.
  • You can oven-bake bacon at 400°F (200°C) for 15–20 minutes on a parchment-lined sheet pan for hands-free cooking.

If you want, I can also give you a loaded bacon and tomato sandwich version with avocado and cheese—super indulgent!

Do you want me to share that version?
