Instructions
Place the bacon in a cold 10-inch cast iron or stainless steel skillet, laying the slices flat without overlapping. Turn the heat to medium-low and cook for about 10 minutes. Flip the bacon and continue cooking, flipping occasionally, until it’s as crispy as you like. Transfer the cooked bacon to a paper towel-lined plate and set aside.
4 slices thick-cut bacon
Carefully discard all but 1 teaspoon of the bacon fat from the skillet. Turn the heat to low and toast both slices of sourdough bread in the skillet on one side only, until golden and slightly crisp. Remove from the skillet and place the slices toasted-side down on a plate.
2 slices sourdough bread
On the untoasted side of one slice, spread the mashed avocado. On the other slice, spread the mayonnaise. Sprinkle both sides with a little kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste.
½ ripe avocado, 2 tablespoons mayonnaise, Kosher salt and freshly-cracked black pepper
Layer the bacon on top of the mayo side, followed by the tomato slices and iceberg lettuce. Place the avocado slice on top, avocado-side down, and press gently to hold everything together.
3 slices tomato, A few leaves of iceberg lettuce
