    Title: Extra-Crispy BLT
    Categories: Five, Pork, Breads, Vegetables
    Yield: 4 servings

    1 lb Thin-cut bacon; halved
    - across
    8 sl (1/4" thick) large, ripe
    - tomatoes
    Salt & black pepper
    1 sm Head iceberg lettuce
    8 sl Airy white bread
    Mayonnaise and/or Dijon
    - mustard

    Set the oven @ 400+IF/205+IC.

    Line a sheet pan with foil, including up the sides.
    Arrange the bacon in a single layer on the lined sheet
    pan, overlapping pieces slightly, if necessary, to fit
    them all on the pan. Transfer to the oven and cook,
    without flipping, until deep golden brown and curling in
    spots, 15 to 25 minutes. (You can put the bacon in as
    the oven heats up; it will help the fat render.)
    Transfer the cooked bacon to a paper towel-lined plate.
    (You can fold and curl the pieces onto the plate; this
    will add more texture to the final sandwich.)

    Meanwhile, season the tomatoes with salt and pepper. Cut
    four 1/4 thick slabs of the iceberg lettuce crosswise.
    (Make a wedge salad with the rest.) Toast the bread in
    the toaster or directly on an empty rack in the oven,
    flipping halfway through.

    Spread one side of the toasted bread with mayonnaise
    and/or mustard. Add 2 slices of tomato to half the bread
    slices. Top with one slab of lettuce, then add the
    bacon. It will be tricky to lay the bacon flat, and
    thatª€™s good. Arrange them irregularly, so there are
    pockets of air between the slices.

    Top with the remaining slices of bread. Press down
    slightly, cut in half and eat right away.
