Egg and Avocado BLT

You can never go wrong with a classic BLT. Three little ingredients paired together so effortlessly that they make your taste buds want to dance.

While I was web surfing, I came across the blog What Should I Eat For Breakfast Today? Marta suggested adding egg and avocado and I just couldn’t help myself.  I also added a little ground chipotle spice to my mayo for a little extra zing. It was totally worth it.

For this epic sandwich, I used Applegate Sunday Bacon and Ezekiel Sesame Bread, which are two of my favorite products! I just love how Applegate calls their bacon “Sunday Bacon.” They must have a really great marketing team because I always, always buy it!

You can slice or mash up the avocados and spread it on alongside the chipotle mayo. Either method will give you similar results. I suggest mashing since it makes it easier to get that avocado flavor in every single bite.

I left the egg a bit runny, as you can see. It all welled up after shooting out of the egg. Not exactly the look I was going for, but you can always dip the sandwich in the puddle of egg yolk to sop up some of that gooey egg flavor.

Bacon Tip:

I always cook my bacon in the oven. I saw my Sister-in-Law do it once and my life was instantly changed forever.

No more grease flying out of a hot frying pan.

I just line a baking sheet with foil, lay the bacon flat and throw it in the oven at 350 degrees. After about 20-25 minutes, you have perfectly crisp bacon! Near the end of the 20 minutes, I’d start to keep an eye on the baking sheet.

The time will depend on how crispy you like your bacon. The cleanup is almost non-existent if you line your baking sheet correctly.

No leftover grease to deal with!
