Instructions

  1. Cook the bacon in a pan over medium heat for 5 to 6 minutes, turning it, until really crispy, then drain it on kitchen paper.
  2. Lightly toast the bread slices until golden.
  3. Wash and dry the lettuce, then slice the tomato thinly and season it with salt, pepper and a drizzle of lemon juice.
  4. Spread the mayonnaise (and the mustard if using) on both sides of the toast.
  5. Lay the lettuce on two slices, then the tomato and the bacon.
  6. Close with the other slices, cut in half diagonally and serve straight away.

Variations and tips

Chicken version. Replace the bacon with breaded chicken escalopes, pan-fried for a more substantial sandwich.
