Ingredients
8 slices thick-cut bacon
8 slices sourdough or rustic bread, toasted
2 ripe avocados, sliced (or mashed with a squeeze of lemon)
2 large ripe tomatoes, sliced
4–6 crisp lettuce leaves (romaine or butter lettuce)
4 tbsp mayonnaise
Salt & freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
Instructions
Cook the Bacon
Fry bacon in a skillet until crispy. Drain on paper towels.
Toast the Bread
Lightly toast bread slices for a gentle crunch.
Assemble the Sandwich
Spread mayonnaise on each slice of bread.
Layer lettuce, tomato slices, avocado, and crispy bacon.
Season tomatoes and avocado with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Close with the second slice of bread.
Serve
Slice diagonally and serve immediately with chips, pickles, or a side salad.
Tips
Use smashed avocado with lemon juice for extra creaminess.
Add a drizzle of balsamic glaze for a tangy twist.
Swap regular bread for sourdough, ciabatta, or a bakery wheat roll for more flavor.
