Ingredients

• 8 slices thick-cut bacon
• 4 slices sourdough or white sandwich bread
• 3 tbsp Mayonnaise
• 2 large ripe tomatoes, sliced 1 cm thick
• 4 crisp lettuce leaves (iceberg, butter or romaine)
• 1 pinch flaky salt
• 1 pinch Black pepper

Method

1. Lay the bacon in a cold frying pan and set it over medium heat. Cook for 8–10 min, turning now and then, until evenly crisp. Drain on kitchen paper.
2. Toast the bread until golden. Season the tomato slices with a little salt and pepper.
3. Spread mayonnaise generously over one side of every slice of toast.
4. Layer lettuce, tomato and 4 strips of bacon on two slices, then top with the remaining toast, mayo side down. Cut in half and eat while the bacon is warm.

Tips

• Make it in late summer when tomatoes are at their best; it’s the whole point of the sandwich.
• Baking the bacon at 200°C (400°F) for about 15 min on a rack is easier when you’re making lots.
