Ingredients are of course important for any recipe, but in this case you want the very very best of all the different parts, because this is an Event Sandwich.  I used my beloved Oscar’s bacon, and a lovely, sweet heirloom tomato.  I found the creamiest Brie cheese I could find, and made sure it was nice and room temperature soft.  Some butter lettuce, a nice plump lemon and (optional but oh so good!) some fragrant fresh thyme leaves.
