great point! ditch the mayo and use avocado. Plus use uncured nitrate free turkey bacon. I am surprised that this was not as healthy as it could be since they are R.D's.

In the South, we don't always toast the bread. We like the taste of fresh white bread right out of the bag.

I make it like this too but I mayo both sides of the bread. Otherwise it taste dry to me. I raise Creole tomatoes i n my garden and you just beat them for taste.

Meggie....Avocado sounds wonderful on this and I don't know why I didn't think of it.

First of all, you forgot to toast the bread. Secondly, while it might seem cute to pack each half in a plastic bag for Josh, it's an unnecessary waste of plastic and therefore terrible for the environment. :(

I actually like turkey bacon and canola mayo better than the full fat stuff. Avocado would be great on that too! Yum.
