Step-by-step
1 Heat the oven to 400ºF. 2 Bake the bacon 20-25 minutes until crisp; drain and reserve the fat if desired. 3 Meanwhile, lightly spread mayonnaise on both sides of all 4 slices of bread (about 1 Tbsp per 2 slices). 4 Tear the lettuce into bread-sized pieces and slice the tomato. 5 Sear the mayo-coated bread in a hot pan over medium heat until toasty and crisp, about 3 minutes per side. 6 Spread the remaining mayonnaise on one side of each toasted slice. 7 Layer on the lettuce. 8 Add the bacon, 3-4 slices per sandwich, crumbled. 9 Top with tomato slices, about 2 per sandwich, and season with salt and pepper. 10 Close each sandwich with a second toasted slice, mayo side down, and serve. Notes Oven bacon at 400ºF for 20-25 minutes. Any mayo works, including vegan mayo; use vegan bacon for a fully vegan sandwich. Blot very juicy tomato slices with a paper towel to prevent a soggy sandwich.
