Preparation time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 5 minutes
Total time: 15 minutes
Servings: 1

Necessary ingredients:

- 1 slice of bread (preferably whole grain or rye for added nutrients)
- a few slices of bacon (about 50g)
- 1 slice of fresh mozzarella (or goat cheese if you prefer a stronger flavor)
- 1 garden tomato (beautiful and juicy)
- optional: a little olive oil for frying
- spices to taste (salt, pepper, basil)

Step-by-step instructions:

1. Preparing the ingredients: Start by gathering all the ingredients. Choose a well-ripened tomato to ensure the sandwich will have a fresh taste. If using mozzarella, make sure it’s at room temperature for better melting.

2. Preparing the bacon: In a non-stick pan, add a few drops of olive oil if desired, and let it heat on medium. Then, place the bacon slices in the pan. Fry them for 3-4 minutes on each side until they become crispy and golden. Remove the bacon from the pan and place it on a paper towel to absorb excess fat.

3. Toasting the bread: Use the same pan, without cleaning it, to toast the slice of bread. Place the bread slices in the pan and let them brown on both sides for about 1-2 minutes each until golden and crispy. This will add a delicious flavor and texture to your sandwich.

4. Assembling the sandwich: On the toasted slice of bread, place a slice of mozzarella, followed by the crispy bacon slices, and finally add the tomato sliced thinly. If desired, you can sprinkle a little salt, pepper, and basil to enhance the flavors.

5. Finalizing: If you prefer a melted sandwich, place the sandwich back in the pan and cover it with a lid for 1-2 minutes so the cheese melts slightly.

6. Serving: Serve the sandwich immediately, alongside a cup of aromatic coffee, hot tea, or a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice. It’s perfect for an energizing breakfast or a quick lunch.

Chef's tip: If you want to add extra texture and flavor, you can include a few leaves of arugula or fresh spinach. Additionally, a drop of pesto or mayonnaise can elevate the sandwich to a more sophisticated culinary experience.
