Method

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare 2 rimmed baking sheets by completely covering them with aluminum foil. Mix brown sugar, black pepper and red pepper flakes on a plate. Dredge bacon in mixture, pressing sugar into bacon with fingers. Arrange bacon on baking sheets so no slices overlap. Cook 10 minutes then switch position of pans, rotating front to back. Continue cooking 10-15 minutes until crispy. Remove to a clean plate and blot with paper towels. Do not drain on paper towels as bacon will stick. Mix mayonnaise, honey and sriracha in a small bowl. Toast bread and spread both sides with mayonnaise. Place 2 lettuce leaves on each of 4 slices of toast, add tomatoes, 3 slices bacon, and another slice of toast.

 

Notes: A twist on my favorite sandwich, The sweet and spicy notes add some zest to this classic.
