# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The satisfying crunch of bacon against cool fresh lettuce creates that perfect texture combination we all crave
  • Everything comes together in under 20 minutes for those moments when only a classic sandwich will do
02 -
  • Dry your tomato slices on a paper towel before assembling or your bottom bread will turn soggy within minutes
  • Cook the bacon a little more than you think you should because it will soften slightly against the warm bread
03 -
  • Warm your bread in the oven instead of a toaster for a more even crispness that holds up better
  • Sprinkle a tiny pinch of salt on the tomato slices to bring out their natural sweetness
