Ingredients

• 4 slices low-sodium bacon
• 4 slices soft whole wheat bread
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 medium ripe tomato
• 0.25 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat a frying pan over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the low-sodium bacon slices to the pan and cook until crispy. This should take about 4-5 minutes on each side. Once cooked, transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess fat.

Step 3

While the bacon is cooking, wash the ripe tomato and slice it thinly.

Step 4

Lightly spread unsalted butter on one side of each slice of whole wheat bread.

Step 5

Once the bacon is finished, take the buttered bread slices and place them butter side down in the same pan with bacon drippings to lightly toast them, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 6

Assemble each sandwich by placing two slices of bacon on the unbuttered side of one slice of toasted bread. Add a few slices of the ripe tomato on top of the bacon.

Step 7

Sprinkle the freshly cracked black pepper over the tomato slices for added flavor.

Step 8

Top with another slice of toasted bread, butter side up.

Step 9

Slice the sandwich diagonally and serve immediately while warm.
