Directions
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Cut bacon into approximately 1” wide pieces. Place on foil-lined baking sheet.
Cook bacon until desired doneness, approximately 15 minutes.
While bacon is cooking, use a cookie cutter or rim of a small glass to cut circles from the bread. Place on a separate baking sheet and toast in the oven for 10 minutes.
Remove bacon and bread from oven.
Assemble by layering toasted rounds, aioli or mayo, lettuce leaf, 2 pieces of bacon, and top with a tomato. Repeat with remaining ingredients. Serve promptly.
