BACON, LETTUCE AND PLUM SANDWICHES
An unlikely combination indeed, bacon, lettuce, and, yes, plums, can go together. This Melissa Clark recipe first appeared in The Times in 2009, when, amid a tomato shortage, she decided to swap in plums in this beloved sandwich recipe. The result "was as delectable and juicy as a B.L.T.," she wrote, "but sweeter and brighter tasting, with the brawny flavor of good, crisp bacon melding with the honeyed fruit." Try it at the height of the season, when plums are as juicy as tomatoes themselves.

The basic classic: bacon, lettuce, and tomato -- nothing fancy, just delicious. (I personally use fake vegetarian bacon these days, and it's still really good!)

Steps:
- Place a griddle or skillet over medium-low heat. Add bacon and place a bacon press, skillet, or masonry trowel on top of it to keep it flat as it cooks. Cook until lightly browned on first side, about 5 minutes, then flip, cover again, and continue cooking until bacon is browned on both sides and fat has rendered, about 3 minutes longer. Transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate and set aside.
- Place bread on same skillet or griddle and toast in bacon fat over medium-low heat, swirling occasionally, until evenly browned on first side. Flip and brown second side.
- Lay toasted bread on a work surface and spread mayonnaise on both top faces. Divide lettuce evenly between both pieces of bread. Layer tomato slices on 1 piece of bread and sprinkle generously with coarse salt and freshly ground pepper.
- Break bacon slices in half and layer them onto the sandwich in 2 layers of 3 half slices each, alternating the orientation of bacon in each layer for more structural stability. Close sandwich and cut in half diagonally. Serve immediately.

BACON, LETTUCE, AND TOMATO WITH MAYONNAISE
This American classic is available at deli counters year-round, but at 'wichcraft, it's a seasonal sandwich served only when local tomatoes are at their peak. For us, this is a tomato sandwich, with crisp bacon (be sure it's good quality!) and Bibb lettuce serving almost as condiments. We use a thick slice of tomato, say 1/2 inch, well seasoned with sea salt, really good pepper, and even a little olive oil. This is one of the sandwiches for which architecture matters, so please pay attention to the assembly instructions. For a special kick, rub a peeled garlic clove over the bread before assembling. A mix of heirloom tomatoes is ideal, combining colors and tones, sweetness and acidity. Imagine a slice of red plum, a slice of green zebra, and a slice of German yellow: summer in a sandwich.

Steps:
- In a heavy skillet, over medium-high heat, cook the bacon until golden brown and crisp on both sides. Transfer to paper towels to drain. Toast the bread on one side only. Evenly spread the mayonnaise on the toasted side of 4 slices of bread. Place the tomatoes on top of the mayo, making sure that the slices don't overlap and the surface of the bread is covered. Season the tomatoes with salt and pepper. Place the bacon over the tomatoes, followed by the lettuce. Close the sandwiches with the remaining 4 bread slices, toasted side down. Carefully cut into halves and serve.
- Sit the tomato stem side down on the counter and using a very sharp knife, slice it horizontally to prevent the juices from running out.

- Spread the mayonnaise on both sides of the bread. This will help to keep the sandwiches moist and prevent the bread from becoming soggy.
- Add a slice of cheese to the sandwiches, if desired. This will make the sandwiches even more decadent.
- Enjoy the sandwiches immediately. Bacon, lettuce, and plum sandwiches are best served fresh.
