From "Scratch" by Maria Rodale


Recipe Introduction

"When I was a kid, this is what my mom would make us for lunch on a good day. It was my favorite sandwich. I remember that I usually ate three of them if I was allowed to. It contains bacon, which is the mascot of all foods in my family—a true uniting force!"

List of Ingredients

â—¦ 8 slices bacon
â—¦ 2 English muffins, split and toasted
â—¦ 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
â—¦ 1 tomato, sliced
â—¦ 4 slices American cheese


Recipe

In a large cast iron skillet, cook the bacon over medium-high heat until crispy. Drain on paper towels and set aside.

Preheat the broiler to high.
Spread the cut sides of all four toasted muffin halves with mayonnaise.

Divide the tomato, bacon, and cheese among the muffins.
Arrange on a baking sheet and broil until melted and golden.
