Bacon and Tomato Sandwiches

Ingredients

• 4 slices of crusty white bread or sourdough bread
• 6–8 slices of bacon
• 1 large, ripe tomato, sliced into thin rounds
• 3–4 tablespoons mayonnaise or cream cheese
• Salt, to taste
• Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• Optional: a pinch of dried herbs (such as oregano or thyme) or paprika

Instructions

1. Cook the bacon:
   Place a skillet over medium heat and add the bacon slices in a single layer. Cook them slowly, turning occasionally, until they become golden brown and crispy. This usually takes about 6–8 minutes. Once cooked, remove the bacon from the pan and place it on paper towels to drain any excess fat. Set aside.
2. Toast the bread:
   Lightly toast the bread slices in a toaster or in a dry pan until they are golden on the outside but still soft on the inside. Avoid over-toasting, as the sandwich should remain tender and easy to bite into.
3. Prepare the spread:
