hot pepper sauce, to taste
Remaining
8 large slice white bread
crisp iceberg lettuce leaf (or leaf lettuce or butter lettuce)

directions

Preheat mayonnaise--mix together mayonnaise ingredients in a bowl.
The sandwiches--toast the bread until golden brown.
Immediately spread each slice on one side with a full tablespoon of basil mayonnaise.
Arrange the lettuce on top of the mayonnaise on 4 bread slices, adding enough to show off a green fringe for each sandwich.
Pile on equal portions of bacon and tomatoes for each sandwich, salting the tomatoes lightly, and add the remaining toast slices.
Carefully slice each sandwich into halves and serve immediately.
