Print Recipe

Experience the ultimate morning indulgence with this BLT and fried egg sandwich, where crisp bacon meets juicy tomato, cool lettuce, and a perfectly runny egg. Layered between your favorite toasted bread—be it tangy sourdough, nutty whole wheat, or soft brioche—each bite delivers a harmony of textures and flavors. Customizable with avocado mash, zesty mayo, or plant-based swaps, this recipe adapts to any dietary need while elevating your breakfast or brunch routine.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 slices sandwich bread (sourdough, whole wheat, or your choice)
  • 8 slices turkey bacon
  • 4 large eggs
  • 4 leaves romaine or iceberg lettuce, washed and patted dry
  • 4 slices ripe tomato
  • 2 Tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 Tbsp unsalted butter
  • kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat.
  • Cook the turkey bacon until crisp, about 3–4 minutes per side; transfer to a paper-towel–lined plate.
  • In the same skillet, melt the butter. Crack in the eggs and cook until the whites are set but yolks remain slightly runny, about 3–4 minutes; season with salt and pepper.
  • Lightly toast the bread slices in the skillet or a toaster until golden.
  • Spread mayonnaise evenly on one side of each toast slice.
  • Assemble each sandwich by layering lettuce, tomato, two slices of turkey bacon, and one fried egg between two pieces of mayo-spread toast.
  • Press gently to compact, slice in half if desired, and serve immediately while hot.

Notes

  • Prep Ahead: Cook bacon in advance and store between paper towels in the refrigerator to maintain crispness.

  • Egg Tips: For consistently runny yolks, crack eggs into a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and cover briefly until whites set.

  • Bread Selection: Choose sturdy loaves like ciabatta or multigrain to prevent tearing and sogginess; lightly butter before toasting for added flavor.

  • Flavor Variations:

    • Add smoked paprika or garlic powder to mayo for a subtle spice kick.

    • Swap traditional bacon for maple-glazed or pepper-crusted slices to explore new taste profiles.

  • Storage & Reheating: Keep components separate—toast, bacon, and veggies—to assemble just before serving; reheat bacon and toast together in a toaster oven for best texture.

  • Dietary Swaps: Use tempeh “bacun” and tofu scramble for a vegan-friendly version, or wrap fillings in lettuce to keep it low-carb.
