Step 1

Working in batches if necessary, fry bacon in a large skillet over high heat until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a large cutting board.

Step 2

While bacon cooks, slice tomato crosswise into thin rounds. Transfer to a plate and marinate with red wine vinegar, 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt and pepper.

Step 3

Spread toast generously with mayonnaise on one side, follow with remaining 1/2 tablespoon olive oil.

Step 4

Divide the tomatoes with some of their vinegar marinade among 2 slices of toast. Top with the lettuce.

Step 5

Lay the bacon on the remaining slices of toast. Form sandwiches by piling the bacon-topped slices on top of the remaining toasts. Squeeze to close, cut in half and serve immediately.
