I’ve added instructions on The Best Bacon Method to follow before you preheat your oven.
Sandwich
Lightly toast all your bread pieces and set aside.
Slice your tomatoes into medium-thick slices and salt and pepper them to taste (suggested measurements listed above)
Add mayo and light salt and pepper to two slices of bread - only mayo on the third
Begin building your sammich: toast > tomato > bacon > lettuce, and pause.
Take a second piece of toast and on the non-mayo side, spread your mashed avocado and place it avocado side-down on top of your sandwich.
Then finished your sammich build: tomato > bacon > lettuce > final piece of toast.
Enjoy!
Do you have to follow that exact order? Yes. (no) That’s just how I do it!
