Ingredients

  • 6 strips of bacon from the center
  • 4 slices of bread lightly toasted, split into two portions
  • 2 tablespoons of flavorful basil pesto
  • 1 ripe tomato, thinly sliced
  • A pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper to your liking
  • 2 teaspoons of light mayonnaise

Step 1

In a spacious skillet, sizzle the bacon until it's wonderfully crispy, flipping it now and then, for around 10 minutes. Once done, let it rest on a paper towel to soak up any excess oil.

Step 2

Now, onto the fun part! Take a slice of toast and slather it with a generous dollop of pesto to create a flavorful base. Next, artfully arrange slices of juicy tomato and three heavenly strips of bacon on top. Sprinkle a pinch of salt and pepper for an extra kick. For the finishing touch, spread a teaspoon of creamy mayonnaise on the other slice of bread and gently place it on top of the stacked goodness.

Step 3

To elevate the experience, why not get creative with the presentation? Perhaps use a decorative toothpick to secure the sandwich halves together or add a sprinkle of fresh herbs for a pop of color. And voilĂ , your gourmet bacon and tomato sandwich is ready to be enjoyed!

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Store the fresh basil in a glass of water, just like a bouquet of flowers, to keep it fresh and flavorful for longer.
  2. 2. Keep the bacon in a paper bag in the fridge to maintain its crispiness and prevent it from becoming soggy.
