B.l.t.e

My husband and I attended graduate school in Australia. There any items served on a bun are called a burger. A comon burger topping choice there is a fried egg. So we would often order a bacon & egg burger at the campus cantina, which always came with lettuce and tomato. (Much to our surprise the first time, this dish contained no hamburger.) But it was delicious & soon became a favorite for lunch. When we moved away I began making these at home on occasion. They are delicious with my heirloom mortgage lifter tomatoes from the garden!

Ingredient

Food ration :

2 servings

Cooking time :

15 mins

4 slice

bread, toasted

4 slice

tomato (I like to use large heirloom tomatoes)

lettuce (or to taste)

eggs (large or jumbo sized work well)

8 slice

thick cut bacon (or to taste)

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Toast bread of choice & allow to cool. Then add a smear of mayonnaise to all four pieces. Set aside.

* Step 2

Slice tomato, clean & prep lettuce. Set aside.

* Step 3

Fry bacon until crispy in a frying pan. You may need to do this in stages. Allow to drain on a paper towel. Set aside.

* Step 4

Turn down frying pan temp to medium low, reserve the bacon grease. Begin building the sandwiches; the recipe makes two. I suggest bread, lettuce, tomato, bacon order. Leave top piece of bread off for now.

* Step 5

Fry eggs in bacon grease. I recommend sunny side medium for the best sandwich compatibility. Season eggs with salt & pepper to taste.

* Step 6

Add one fried egg to the top of each open sandwich & then place the top piece of toasted bread onto each.

* Step 7

Serve & enjoy. Please note that healthier choices may be made. You may consider using vegetable oil for frying the eggs, use turkey bacon, fewer pieces of bacon, or using lite mayo. Jazz the recipe up to fit your tastes & dietary needs!
