Steps

1Slice the tomato into 1/4"-1/2" thick slices (ideally making four slices). Spread the tomato slices on a plate, sprinkle with a healthy pinch of flaky sea salt and drizzle with olive oil. Let sit for 10-15 minutes.
2Stir the black pepper into the mayonnaise and set aside.
3Toast the bread slices in a toaster, or by spreading butter on each side and toasting in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Let cool slightly.
4Lay two slices of bread onto a plate. Divide half of the black pepper mayonnaise over the bread slices.
5Tear one leaf of romaine lettuce in half, and lay on top of the bottom slice of bread. Place half of the tomato slices and the bacon on top of the lettuce.
6On the top slice of bread, sprinkle on half of the thinly sliced red onion and cheese. Sandwich the two slices together, cut in half, and serve immediately!
