2. Step-by-Step Instructions
-
Cook the Bacon Fry your bacon in a skillet until it is crispy but still has a little chew. Drain it on paper towels. Keep the bacon fat in the pan!
-
Toast the Bread (The Pro Move) Take your 2 slices of bread and place them in the skillet with the leftover bacon fat. Toast them over medium heat until they are golden brown on both sides. This adds way more flavor than a toaster.
-
The âMayo Barrierâ Spread a thick layer of mayonnaise on one side of both pieces of toasted bread. Go all the way to the edges. This acts as a âsealâ so the tomato juice doesnât make the bread mushy.
-
Season the Tomatoes Place your thick tomato slices on a plate. Sprinkle them generously with salt and pepper before you put them on the sandwich. This draws out the flavor.
-
The Assembly Place the salted tomatoes on the bottom slice of bread. Top the tomatoes with your crispy bacon.
-
The Squish Close the sandwich with the top slice of bread. Press down gently so the mayo, tomato juice, and bacon fat all start to get to know each other.
-
Slice and Serve Cut it diagonally (it tastes better that way) and serve it immediately.
