Bacon and Tomato Sandwiches

Here’s a classic Bacon and Tomato Sandwich recipe—simple, flavorful, and perfect for a quick lunch or snack:

Ingredients (serves 2)

• 4 slices of bread (white, whole wheat, or sourdough)

• 4–6 slices of bacon

• 1 large tomato, sliced

• 2–4 leaves of lettuce (optional)

• 2 tbsp mayonnaise (or to taste)

• Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

1. Cook the bacon:

   • Fry bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 6–8 minutes.

   • Drain on paper towels to remove excess grease.

2. Prepare the bread:

   • Toast the bread slices lightly if desired.

   • Spread mayonnaise on one side of each slice.

3. Assemble the sandwich:

   • Layer lettuce (if using) on the bottom slice.

   • Add tomato slices and sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper.

   • Top with crispy bacon.

   • Place the other slice of bread on top.

4. Serve:

   • Slice in half and enjoy immediately.

💡 Tips:

• For extra flavor, add a slice of cheddar or provolone cheese.

• Swap mayonnaise for avocado spread or mustard for a twist.

• Use thick-cut bacon for a heartier sandwich.

I can also give a “loaded 5-minute skillet version” that crisps the bread in bacon fat for an extra savory flavor boost.
