Ingredients

12 slices thick-cut bacon
4 ripe tomatoes, sliced
1 romaine heart
2 avocados
8 slices sourdough
1 small garlic clove, grated
½ lemon

From your pantry: ⅓ cup mayo, flaky salt, pepper.

Instructions

Bake the bacon on a rack at 400°F for 15 to 18 minutes until crisp.
Salt the tomato slices and let them sit 5 minutes.
Stir the mayo with the garlic and a squeeze of lemon.
Toast the bread and spread with garlic mayo.
Layer lettuce, tomatoes, avocado and 3 bacon slices per sandwich. Close, press and slice.

Tip: Salting the tomatoes a few minutes ahead makes them taste much more like tomato.
