Ultimate B.L.T.

Warning: I’m not making any attempt to Slow Carbify/Paleoify this recipe as it’s intended to be used as a cheat meal

If you’ve got garden ripe tomatoes available and aren’t allergic to bacon then you owe it yourself to try this version of the classic B.L.T. sandwich.  I based this on a recipe from Men’s Journal and tweaked it just a hair but really that recipe’s suggestion to add egg and cheese were the big “ah ha” ingredients I hadn’t experienced before.  The combination of those two really adds some substance which I always thought classic B.L.T.s were lacking.

Ingredients

Instructions

Lay bacon strips out on a cookie sheet lined with aluminum foil and coat with fresh ground black pepper. Next to the bacon strips add another sheet of aluminum foil with the edges turned up to prevent bacon grease from reaching it. Place two slices of bread on this sheet and top with chunks of mozzarella. Set oven to 400 degrees, place cookie sheet on middle rack for 15 minutes.

While bacon and bread is in the cut two slices of tomato about 1/4 inch thick. Pull off several leaves from the iceberg lettuce.

After 15 minutes of cooking flip the bacon and continue cooking for 2-5 minutes until crispy. Check the bread for doneness since cooking times will vary greatly between bread types. When bacon is finished cooking place on paper towels to remove excess fat.

In a small frying pan heat 1 tbsp of EVOO over medium heat. While waiting for oil spread mayo on one of the slices of bread. Optional: Add a few lines of Sriratcha on the other slice.

Fry eggs to the doneness of your liking (over easy is the only way to go in my opinion). Add fresh ground black pepper to the top of the eggs while they cook.

Complete your Ultimate B.L.T. by placing the tomatoes, lettuce, bacon, and fried eggs in between the bread. Cut in half and devour.

Optional: Give extra slice of bacon to your puppy
