🍳 Instructions

1. Cook bacon:

   • In a skillet over medium heat, cook bacon until crispy, about 4–5 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

   • Alternatively, you can bake the bacon at 400°F (200°C) for 15–20 minutes on a lined baking sheet.

2. Toast bread:

   • While the bacon cooks, toast the bread slices to your desired level of crispiness.

3. Assemble the sandwich:

   • Spread mayonnaise (and mustard if using) on one or both slices of bread.

   • Layer tomato slices on one slice of bread, then season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

   • Add crispy bacon on top of the tomatoes.

   • If using, add a layer of fresh lettuce.

4. Serve:

   • Top with the second slice of bread, cut in half, and serve immediately.

✅ Tips:

• For an extra touch of flavor, use bacon aioli instead of regular mayo.

• Add avocado slices for extra creaminess and richness.

• Make it a BLT by adding some fresh leafy lettuce.
