This BELT sandwich is a wonderful lunch or dinner sandwich. Heck, if you feel like a big breakfast, this is perfect for that too! With the addition of a fried egg, the bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwich is filling, delicious and has extra protein from the egg.
Bacon Lettuce and Fried Egg Sandwich
Although thoroughly delicious, this sandwich can be messy too! That egg yoke may end up in places it shouldn't be!
I tried this sandwich after a game of golf. It's a basic bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwich but it has that extra special ingredient that makes it awesome. A fried egg. Let me be specific! A fried chicken egg is my favorite (some places use quail eggs).
We have almost forgotten the poor BLT sandwich. It's such a quick and simple meal, especially if you cook the bacon ahead of time!
Ingredients:
- Two pieces of bread slices (pick your favorite!)
- Lettuce (pick your favorite kind of lettuce)
- Tomato (I get the biggest tomato I can find, love big slices on my BELT sandwich. I especially love nice ripe heirloom tomatoes)
- Bacon (3 slices, if you are indulging. If you precook the bacon, it makes this a really fast sandwich.)
- 1 egg (fried, of course. I like mine sunny side up BUT, over easy is perfectly OK!)
- Mayonaise (optional)
- Salt and pepper at the end (optional)
Directions:
- Make sure you have bacon ready!
- Toast your bread.
- Add mayo to the toast, if you want it.
- Layer the lettuce, tomato and bacon on top of the slice of bread.
- Add 1 fried egg.
- Cut in half and serve.
How can you not love this recipe? It has your favorite bread. And BACON. Plus a fried egg! Did I mention your favorite bread? Yes, I know, yummm.
It's the fried egg that makes eating this fun. Gravity causes the yoke to drip or run down your hand. But, it's ok. You might want to eat this with close friends and family! It's just so good but can get messy.
Once you slice it, the yoke starts to ooze out.
The goodness just gets better when you eat it.
I hope you like this twist on a traditional BLT as much as I do!

If making for a crowd, I would recommend precooking your bacon. Or, if you have a favorite brand of precooked bacon, use that.
Another perfect breakfast, lunch or dinner sandwich is the classic Western.

I do this but weave my bacon and cook it in the oven, that way I always get a bite with bacon and it doesn’t seem to crumble apart. I also will break the yolk when almost done frying so it is cooked as well and doesn’t drip. Yum, yum.

You asked and I tellin': What's not to like about an egg? Especially now that it is off the forbidden lists. I wasted my youth not eating eggs and butter and now it is all good, thank goodness I didn't heed the warnings about coffee. Now I tease my friends when they forget something. Should have drank some coffee!
