Step 1: Cook the Bacon
- Lay bacon slices in a cold skillet (no need to preheat).
- Turn the heat to medium and cook until crispy, about 8–10 minutes, flipping occasionally.
- Transfer bacon to a paper towel–lined plate to drain excess grease.
(Optional: For less mess, bake bacon at 400°F / 200°C for 15–20 minutes on a parchment-lined baking sheet.)
Step 2: Prepare the Bread
- Toast the bread slices until golden brown.
- (Optional) Lightly butter each slice for extra flavor and crispness.
Step 3: Assemble the Sandwich
- Spread mayonnaise generously on one side of each slice of toast.
- Layer sliced tomatoes evenly on two of the bread slices.
- Sprinkle a bit of salt and pepper over the tomatoes to bring out their flavor.
- Add crispy bacon on top.
- Place the remaining slices of bread on top, mayo-side down.
Step 4: Serve
- Slice each sandwich diagonally for easy eating.
- Serve warm with chips, fries, or a simple green salad.
