Ingredients
- 8 slices Bacon
- 2 medium Ripe tomato
- 4 leaves Romaine lettuce
- 8 leaves Fresh basil leaves
- 4 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 8 slices Sourdough bread
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat a skillet over medium heat.
Step 2
Cook the bacon slices in the skillet until they are crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the bacon from the pan and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
Step 3
While the bacon cooks, slice the tomatoes evenly into 1/4-inch thick slices. Sprinkle the tomato slices with a pinch of salt and black pepper for seasoning.
Step 4
Rinse and pat dry the romaine lettuce and basil leaves.
Step 5
Spread 1/2 tablespoon of butter on one side of each slice of sourdough bread.
Step 6
Heat a clean skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the buttered side of the bread down on the skillet, toasting until golden brown (about 2 minutes). Remove from heat.
Step 7
Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise evenly on the unbuttered side of each piece of toasted bread.
Step 8
Assemble the sandwich: On four slices of the bread (mayonnaise side up), layer 2 slices of bacon, 2 slices of tomato, 1 romaine lettuce leaf, and 2 basil leaves.
Step 9
Top with the remaining slices of bread, mayonnaise side down. Gently press the sandwiches together.
Step 10
Slice each sandwich in half diagonally, if desired, and serve immediately. Enjoy your B B L T Sandwich!
