• 2 tbsp mayonnaise
• 4 leaves iceberg or romaine lettuce

Instructions

1. 1

   Place the bacon slices in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry for 5-8 minutes, turning occasionally, until crispy.

   Spread a tablespoon of mayonnaise on each slice of toasted bread.

5. 5

   Assemble the sandwich: On two slices, layer the lettuce, sliced tomatoes, and crispy bacon. Season the tomatoes with a little black pepper.
