Preheat oven to 375°. Place the bacon strips in a single layer on a foil-lined sheet tray. Bake the bacon until just crisp, about 15 minutes or until crispy. If you never tried baking bacon, it is a game changer because it keeps the mess contained and the bacon smell doesn't go everywhere.
I also ended up baking extra bacon to have on hand.
Prepare the Produce

While the bacon bakes, sprinkle the tomato slices with salt and pepper. Also get you bread toasted as well, I forgot to toast mine but I really wish I had.
Take Bacon Out

Once the bacon is done to your liking, pull it out of the over and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to get all the extra grease out.
Assemble!
