Ingredients

4 slices thin bacon
2 slices bread
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
1/4 cup avocado mashed
2 slices tomatoes
2 leaves lettuce

Instructions

Fry the bacon until crisp and drain on paper towels to remove excess grease.
Toast the bread slices until golden brown and crispy.
Spread mayonnaise evenly on both slices of toasted bread.
Spread mashed avocado on one slice of the mayo-covered toast if desired.
Layer the tomato slices, lettuce leaves, and crispy bacon on top.
Top with the second slice of toast, mayo side down.
Cut diagonally and serve immediately.

Notes

Pat tomatoes dry with paper towels before adding to prevent soggy bread

Cook bacon on medium heat to guarantee even crisping without burning

Use day-old bread for better toasting results and structural integrity

Mash avocado with a fork and add a pinch of salt and lemon juice to prevent browning

Assemble sandwich immediately after toasting bread to maintain ideal texture

Choose thick-cut tomatoes for better flavor and less moisture

Chill lettuce leaves beforehand for extra crispness
