Cuisine: American
Serves: 1 serving
Ingredients
- 2 slices of whole grain bread
- 2 slices of bacon
- 1 cup lettuce
- 1 tomato, sliced
- 1 egg
- 2 tbsp fat free chipotle mayo
Instructions
- Prepare your ingredients by washing and drying the lettuce, slicing the tomato into even rounds, and setting out the bacon, bread, and egg.
- Place a skillet over medium heat and cook the bacon until crisp and golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Transfer cooked bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
- In the same skillet with remaining bacon fat, crack the egg and fry until the white is set and edges are crispy, but the yolk remains slightly runny. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- While the egg is cooking, lightly toast the whole grain bread slices until they reach a golden brown color and have a crisp texture.
- Spread the fat free chipotle mayo evenly on both slices of toasted bread, ensuring complete coverage.
- Layer the ingredients on one slice of bread: start with lettuce as the base, then add sliced tomato, crispy bacon strips, and top with the fried egg.
- Carefully place the second slice of bread on top, mayo-side down, and press gently to secure the sandwich.
- Cut the sandwich diagonally and serve immediately while the egg is still warm and the bacon is crisp.
Tips
- Choose Quality Ingredients: Opt for fresh, high-quality ingredients, especially the bacon and vegetables, to enhance the flavor of your sandwich.
- Control the Egg's Doneness: For a creamier texture, fry the egg until the yolk is runny. If you prefer it firmer, cook it a bit longer until the yolk is fully set.
- Customize Your Mayo: Feel free to experiment with the chipotle mayo by adding a dash of lime juice or a sprinkle of garlic powder for an extra flavor boost.
- Toast to Perfection: Ensure your bread is toasted just right—golden and crispy on the outside, yet soft on the inside. This adds a delightful texture to your sandwich.
- Layer Strategically: For the best bite, layer the ingredients in the order of lettuce, tomato, bacon, and egg. This will help to keep the sandwich balanced and prevent sogginess.
- Serve Immediately: Enjoy your BLT sandwich right after assembling to savor the warm, crispy bacon and the runny egg before it cools down.
