Number Of Ingredients 8

6 slices smoked bacon
4 slices good white bread, cut 1/2-inch thick

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Toss the avocado slices gently with the lemon juice, and arrange on top of the lettuce leaves. Place 3 slices of bacon on top of each sandwich and then add a layer of tomato slices on top of the bacon. Sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper.
  • Spread each of the remaining 2 slices of toasted bread with 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise and place, mayonnaise side down, on the sandwiches. Cut in half and serve.

I thought the avocado was a bit too much for this sandwich. I would have preferred just bacon and tomato.
