Ingredients
  

  • 2 slices sourdough bread
  • 4 slices vine ripen tomatoes
  • 4-6 leaves iceberg lettuce
  • 8 slices thick cut bacon
  • 2-3 tbsp mayonnaise

Instructions
 

  • In a cold cast iron pan, lay out a few slices of the bacon, 4 slices should be fine depending on the size of your pan. Place the pan over medium heat. Cook the bacon low and slow Flip the bacon occasionally until you get a nice even brown on both size. Place the cooked crispy bacon on a few paper towels to drain. Continue cooking the rest of the bacon.
  • Toast the bread either on the pan or in a toaster. I personally love slathering a bit of mayonnaise on one side and toasting it on the pan.
  • Spread some mayonnaise on one piece of toast. Layer on the lettuce, bacon, and then the tomatoes. Top it with the second piece of bread and enjoy.
