Ingredients
Bread
- 4 slices Baguette or other crusty bread
Avocado Spread
- 1 Avocados ripe
- 2 tsp Lime Juice fresh
- 1/2 tsp Salt or to taste
- 1/4 tsp Pepper black, freshly ground
Other
- 2 Tbsp Mayonnaise
- 2 tsp Butter for frying eggs, or oil
- 2 Toothpicks optional
Instructions
Making the Avocado Spread
- Scoop the avocado flesh into a bowl. Add the lime juice immediately to prevent browning. This helps maintain the vibrant green color.
- Mash the avocado with a fork until a smooth paste forms. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
- Slice the baguette into four pieces of medium width. Toast the bread slices on one side until golden brown. Toasting adds texture and prevents the sandwich from becoming soggy.
- Cook the bacon rashers on the same griddle or pan until crispy. The bacon will render its own fat, so no additional oil is needed.
- Fry the eggs in butter or oil on the griddle over low heat until cooked through. Season with salt and pepper.
Assembling the BLT Sandwich
- Place the toasted bread slices on a flat surface, toasted side down. Spread mayonnaise on two slices and avocado spread on the other two.
- On the slices with avocado spread, layer lettuce and tomato. Top with crispy bacon and a fried egg.
- Top with the mayonnaise-spread bread slices to complete the sandwiches. Secure with toothpicks, if desired. Serve immediately.
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- The avocado spread is not traditional in a BLT, but adds a creamy, healthy element. You can omit it and use mayonnaise, butter, or another spread instead.
- Pork bacon is high in calories. Consider using chicken bacon for a lower-calorie option.
- Crack eggs carefully to avoid breaking the yolk, and cook slowly to maintain a sunny-side-up shape.
- When using toothpicks or skewers, avoid the yolk to prevent it from running.
Expert Tips
- For extra flavor, toast the bread before assembling the BLT.
- Add a layer of crisp lettuce for a satisfying crunch.
- If using tomatoes, choose ripe, flavorful varieties for the best taste.
Storage Instructions
- These sandwiches are best enjoyed fresh. Leftovers can be stored separately and assembled just before serving.
