  1. Preheat your oven grill to medium-high heat.

  3. While the bacon cooks, lightly spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on one side of each slice of bread.
  4. Top the mayonnaise with 1/2 tablespoon of ketchup.
  5. Place the cooked bacon on one slice of bread.
  6. Top with the other slice of bread.
  7. Carefully cut the sandwich in half diagonally.
  8. Serve immediately while hot. Enjoy with a cup of tea for the full British experience!
