Tips & Tricks
- Add a slice of avocado for a creamy and buttery twist.
- For a tangy kick, spread some Dijon mustard on the bread.
- Experiment with different types of lettuce, such as romaine or arugula, for added flavor.
- Crumble some blue cheese on top of the bacon for an extra layer of richness.
- If you prefer a lighter version, you can use turkey bacon instead of regular bacon.

Presentation advice
Cut the sandwich diagonally and arrange it on a plate with the cut sides facing up. Garnish with a sprig of fresh parsley or a cherry tomato for an appealing presentation.
