Yield Makes 2 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 7

12 slices thickly cut bacon
4 slices white sandwich bread, such as pain de mie (Pullman), sliced about 1/2-inch thick
1/2 cup Homemade Mayonnaise
1 small head Bibb or Boston lettuce
1 to 2 vine-ripened tomatoes, sliced 1/4-inch thick
4 basil leaves
Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Lay 12 strips of bacon on a cooling rack placed over a parchment-lined baking sheet; transfer to oven, and bake until crisp and browned, 15 to 18 minutes.
  • Toast bread, and spread one side of each slice with mayonnaise. Arrange lettuce on two slices; top with basil leaf, tomatoes, and bacon. Season with salt and pepper. Top with remaining bread slices, and cut on the diagonal. Serve immediately.
