Breakfast BLT Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  2. 2

    Fry the Egg

    In the same skillet, crack the egg and cook it to your desired doneness (sunny side up or over easy), about 2-4 minutes.

  3. 3

    Toast the Bread

    While the egg is cooking, toast the Texas toast slices until golden brown.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Tomato

    Slice the tomato into 1/4-inch thick slices.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Sandwich

    On one slice of toasted Texas toast, spread the chipotle aioli, add the crispy bacon, arugula, sliced tomato, and the fried egg. Top with the second slice of toast.

  6. 6

    Optional Avocado

    If using, slice the avocado and add it to the sandwich before closing it.
