2 slices sturdy white bread, or sliced ciabatta
2-3 slices very thick bacon
1/2 very ripe beefsteak tomato
1 slice romaine lettuce, or a small handful of mesclun greens
1/2 avocado, sliced, optional
1 egg yolk
pinch cayenne
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 cup neutral oil, such as canola, more if needed
salt to taste

1
In a small skillet, cook the bacon over low heat, turning occasionally, until well-browned but still slightly chewy, about 20 minutes.
2
In a bowl, whisk together the egg yolk, cayenne, lemon juice, dijon, and a pinch of salt. Add a few drops of oil while whisking vigorously (the first drops of oil are essential to starting the emulsion). Add the oil very, very slowly at first, whisking, then more quickly once a good emulsion has happened. Add more oil if needed for the desired consistency. Season to taste with salt and/or more lemon juice.
3
Lightly toast the bread, slice the tomato, wash the lettuce, and slice the avocado. Slather both sides of the bread with the mayo, add the lettuce and tomato, and carefully salt and pepper the tomato. Assemble with the bacon and optional avocado, and eat.
