Ingredients
- 2 slices thick slices hearty white bread
- 4 teaspoons butter, soft
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise OR other sauce*
- 4 slices thin-cut bacon
- 2-4 pieces of green leaf lettuce
- 1 perfectly ripe tomato
- 1/2 perfectly ripe avocado
- salt and pepper
Instructions
- Start by frying your bacon. I highly recommend baking your bacon! The clean-up is so much easier.
- Click here to learn How to Bake Bacon. When the bacon is crispy (but not TOO crispy!) take it out and remove to a paper-towel-lined plate. Tear each slice of bacon in half so there are 8 strips. Keep warm until ready to assemble.
- While the bacon is cooking, prepare your bread. Spread both sides of your bread with butter.
- Place in a skillet over medium heat and toast lightly, it will only take a couple minutes. Flip each piece of bread and toast the other side. Don’t overdo it! You only want a light browning.
- (Alternatively, you can toast your bread lightly in a toaster and then spread each side with butter). Set aside.
- Wash and dry your green leaf lettuce. Slice your tomato into slices that are about 3/8 inch thick. Place the tomatoes on a paper towel-lined plate so absorb some of the water.
- Cut your avocado in half, then slice one half into strips.
- Assemble your sandwich: Spread about 1 and 1/2 tablespoons mayonnaise* on your toasted bread. Top with lettuce fronds. Next, add 2 tomato slices that have been sitting on a paper towel for at least a few minutes. Sprinkle your tomatoes with salt and pepper.
- Add all the bacon. You should have 8 half-strips of bacon. Pile ’em on!
- Top the bacon with avocado strips. Sprinkle with a little more salt and pepper, if you like.
- Spread the other piece of toasted bread with mayonnaise or whatever sauce you are using.
- Top the sandwich and gently press down. Use a sharp serrated knife to slice the sandwich in half. This recipe makes 1 amazing sandwich. Eat right away!

Tips and Tricks

- Season tomato slices with salt and pepper before assembling to enhance their flavor.
- Use thin-cut bacon and add extra layers for a good crunch without the bulk.
