Ultimate Bacon and Tomato Sandwich Recipe: Crispy, Savory, and Delicious
Ingredients:
- 6 slices of crispy bacon (thick-cut)
- 2 ripe tomatoes, sliced
- 2 slices of artisan sourdough bread (or your favorite bread)
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise (optional: add a dash of sriracha for a spicy kick)
- 1 tablespoon butter (for toasting)
- Fresh baby arugula or lettuce (optional for crunch)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions:
- Cook the bacon: Heat a large pan over medium heat. Add the bacon slices and cook for 5-7 minutes, flipping occasionally, until crispy and golden brown. Transfer to a paper towel to drain excess grease.
- Toast the bread: While the bacon cooks, spread butter on one side of each bread slice. Toast the slices in a skillet over medium heat, buttered side down, until golden brown and crispy.
- Assemble the sandwich: Spread mayonnaise (and sriracha, if desired) on the non-buttered side of each toast. Layer the perfectly ripe tomato slices on one piece of toast. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to enhance the flavors.
- Add the bacon: Once crispy, layer the bacon on top of the tomatoes. If you want extra flavor, sprinkle some smoked paprika or cheddar cheese for an added twist.
- Finish and serve: Top with fresh arugula or lettuce for crunch (optional). Place the other toast slice on top, cut in half, and serve immediately.
Pro Tip: For the best bacon sandwich, use the freshest ingredients possible and make sure the bacon is cooked to perfection—crispy, but not too dry!
