# Ingredients:
For the sandwich
01 -
6 slices white sandwich bread
02 -
4 tablespoons mayonnaise, divided
03 -
4 large romaine or iceberg lettuce leaves, washed and dried
04 -
1 medium ripe tomato, thinly sliced

# Instructions:
01 -
Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp, 8-10 minutes, or bake it at 400°F for about 15 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
02 -
Toast all 6 slices of bread until golden and firm. Let them cool for 1 minute so they stay crisp after the mayonnaise goes on.
03 -
Dry the lettuce very well. Slice the tomato, season lightly with salt and pepper, and blot with a paper towel to remove extra moisture.
04 -
Spread mayonnaise on 2 toast slices. Top each with lettuce, turkey or chicken, and tomato.
05 -
Spread mayonnaise on both sides of 2 more toast slices and place them over the first layer. Top with ham, crisp bacon, and more lettuce.
06 -
Spread mayonnaise on the final 2 toast slices and place them on top. Press gently, secure each sandwich with 4 picks, and cut each into quarters.
