Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

Place Benton's bacon on a rack set inside a baking sheet.

Cook the bacon in the cold oven for about 20 minutes until crispy.

Drain the cooked bacon on paper towels to remove excess fat.

Toast one side of the sourdough bread in the oven while keeping the other side soft.

Slice heirloom tomatoes and season them lightly with kosher salt and pepper.
