π₯ Ingredients
8 slices thick-cut bacon

2 large ripe tomatoes, sliced
4β6 crisp lettuce leaves (romaine or iceberg)
4 tbsp mayonnaise (like Dukeβs or your favorite brand)

π©βπ³ Instructions
π₯ 1. Cook the Bacon
Fry the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until golden and crispy.
Transfer to paper towels to drain excess grease.
π 2. Toast the Sourdough
Lightly toast the bread β just enough to add a gentle crunch while keeping that soft sourdough bite.
π₯ͺ 3. Assemble the Sandwich
Spread mayonnaise evenly on each slice of bread.
Layer lettuce.
Add tomato slices and season with salt and pepper.
Top with crispy bacon.
Close with the second slice of sourdough.
π½ Serve
Slice diagonally and serve immediately with:
Chips
Pickles
Or a light side salad
