Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 8 slices of bacon
- 4 slices of bread
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1 tomato, sliced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients by washing and slicing the tomato and avocado. Set aside on a clean cutting board.
- Place a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Allow the cooking surface to warm up for about 1-2 minutes.
- Lay the bacon strips flat in the wok, ensuring they do not overlap. Cook the bacon slowly, allowing the fat to render and the meat to become crisp and golden brown.
- Flip the bacon strips periodically to ensure even cooking, approximately every 2-3 minutes. Cook until the bacon reaches your desired level of crispness.
- Once the bacon is cooked, transfer the strips to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease and let them cool slightly.
- Using the remaining bacon fat in the wok, lightly toast the bread slices on both sides until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on each toasted bread slice.
- Layer the crispy bacon slices on the bread, then add sliced tomato and avocado on top.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Close the sandwich, cut diagonally, and serve immediately while the bacon is still warm and crisp.
Tips
- Choose high-quality bacon for the best flavor and crispness. Thick-cut bacon works exceptionally well in this recipe.
- Keep the wok heat at medium-high to prevent burning while allowing the bacon to render its fat slowly.
- Don't rush the bacon cooking process—patience ensures perfectly crispy strips.
- Use the bacon fat to toast your bread for an extra layer of flavor.
- For a healthier version, you can drain excess bacon fat and use a non-stick spray instead.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the maximum crispness of the bacon and warmth of the bread.
- Experiment with additional toppings like cheese, lettuce, or a special sauce to customize your sandwich.
