Ingredients

  • 8 slices bacon

Lemon pepper mayo

  • 3 tbsp mayonnaise
  • ½ tsp lemon zest
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • 4 slices sourdough bread
  • 1 medium avocado, ripe, sliced
  • 1 large tomatoes, sliced
  • 1 pinch kosher salt
  • 4 romaine lettuce leaves, dried

Steps

  1. Lay the bacon on a parchment-lined sheet pan and put it in a cold oven. Set the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Bake until the bacon is browned and crisp.
  3. Drain the bacon on paper towels.
  4. Stir the mayonnaise, lemon zest, lemon juice and pepper together in a small bowl.
  5. Toast the sourdough until golden.
  6. Sprinkle the tomato and avocado slices with a pinch of salt.
  7. Spread the lemon mayo on one side of every slice of toast.
  8. Build each sandwich: toast, lettuce, tomato, bacon, avocado, then the top slice of toast.
  9. Cut in half with a sharp knife and serve.

Tip: Put the avocado on top, against the bread, so the slices don't slide out of the sandwich.

Tip: The lemon mayo keeps 4 days in the fridge and is great on any sandwich.

Storage: Best eaten right away.
