Ingredients

🍞 3 slices white bread, standard sliced
🥄 Mayonnaise, quantity not specified
🐷 Approximately 4-6 slices Bar S Deli Shaved Smoked Ham
🧀 2 slices American cheese
🥑 1 avocado, sliced or smashed
🍅 1 medium tomato, sliced
🥓 4 slices Bar S Naturally Hardwood Smoked Bacon, Thick Cut

Instructions

1- Cook the Bacon:

• Heat a HexClad frying pan over medium heat.
• Add 3 slices of Bar S Naturally Hardwood Smoked Bacon and cook until crispy, approximately 3-5 minutes.
• Set aside on a paper towel to drain excess fat.

3- Prepare the Vegetables:

• Slice the tomato into reasonably thick rounds.
• Cut the avocado in half and remove the pit.
• Scoop out the flesh and either slice it or mash it slightly for easy spreading.

4- Assemble the Sandwich:

• Place one slice of toasted bread on a cutting board.
• Spread a layer of mayonnaise over the bread using a spreader or butter knife.
• Add 2-3 slices of Bar S Deli Shaved Smoked Ham followed by one slice of American cheese.
• Top with another slice of toasted bread and spread mayonnaise on this second slice.
• Layer the sliced or mashed avocado evenly over the mayonnaise.
• Add the tomato slices and the crispy bacon.
• Place the lettuce leaves on top of the bacon.
• Finish with the third slice of toasted bread.

5- Secure and Slice the Sandwich:

• Use two sandwich picks (one red, one green) to secure the sandwich.
• With a chef's knife, cut the sandwich diagonally into two halves.
