BLT Breakfast Sandwich
A mash-up of my favorite easy lunch sandwich, a BLT, and a great cheesy egg breakfast sandwich. When tomatoes are in season, this is the best way to start your day!
Ingredients
- 1 pound bacon, crispy
- 2 ripe tomatoes, sliced
- 1 head butter lettuce
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 8 slices sandwich bread, toasted
- Salt and pepper
Cheesy Eggs:
- 4 large eggs, scrambled
- 4 ounces cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon butter
Instructions
- For the bacon, preheat oven to 375˚F. Lay out bacon on a baking sheet (lined with parchment or foil for easier clean-up. Bake the bacon for 15-20 minutes until it's crispy and browned. Remove bacon strips and let cool slightly.
- For scrambled eggs, mix eggs well to scramble them. Butter a griddle or skillet over medium heat. Once butter is melted, add eggs and softly scrambled. When eggs are half-done, add cheese and fold together until eggs are just cooked. Add warm eggs to sandwiches immediately.
- Making a sandwich: Toast bread and smear with mayo on both sides. Add lettuce to one side and tomatoes. Season tomatoes with salt and pepper. Top with bacon and cheesy eggs. Top with second piece of bread.
- Cut sandwich in half and serve while warm. You can also wrap up the sandwich in foil or parchment and eat on the go.
