8 slices gluten-free bread Shop
8 slices bacon
1 large ripe tomato, sliced
1 head leaf lettuce (like romaine or butter lettuce)
1/2 avocado, sliced
2 tbsp gluten-free mayonnaise Shop
1 tsp gluten-free Dijon mustard (optional) Shop
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

1 Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 8-10 minutes. Transfer the cooked bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease, leaving about 1 tablespoon of bacon fat in the skillet. The bacon should be firm and slightly curled.
2 While the bacon cooks, prepare the gluten-free mayonnaise mixture. In a small bowl, whisk together the gluten-free mayonnaise and optional gluten-free Dijon mustard until well combined. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper to your liking.
3 Toast the gluten-free bread slices in the skillet with the reserved bacon fat over medium heat, or in a toaster, until golden brown and slightly firm on both sides, approximately 2-3 minutes per side. The toasted bread should have a pleasant crunch.
4 Assemble the sandwiches by spreading the mayonnaise mixture generously on one side of each toasted gluten-free bread slice. Layer the crisp lettuce leaves, juicy tomato slices, and creamy avocado slices onto four of the bread slices.
5 Top the vegetables with the crispy bacon strips, ensuring even distribution. Place the remaining four bread slices, mayonnaise-side down, on top to complete the sandwiches. Slice in half and serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
