BLT Sandwiches with Avocado and Fried Egg


This is one of the best sandwiches ever during the month of August since tomatoes are at their peak in season and so juicy and delicious (sometimes I'll just eat tomatoes for a meal they are so good!).  What's important though is that all the ingredients are fresh and quality (non of that fake microwavable bacon).  Otherwise this recipe is very easy jut good bread, fresh ingredients and you are set!  

Recipe: (Serves 4)

12 oz smoked thick cut bacon
4 eggs (fried)
8 slices of sourdough bread
1-2 beefsteak tomato 
1 avocado 
fresh lettuce
salt and pepper
mayo/butter


Directions:

Cook the bacon on medium heat on a nice big griddle and cover the bacon with a paper towel so the grease doesn't spray all over.  Cook each side for about 3 minutes (watch out because it burns easily).  While the bacon is cooking slice the fresh tomatoes (go to the farmers market while you still can, fresh tomatoes are pieces of heaven!), cut an avocado in half and slice, and lightly toast the bread.
As the bacon finishes, get out a skillet and grease with some of the bacon grease (AAAmazing).  Crack the eggs over and cook on a medium heat and make sure to not crack the yolk (you want it to stay runny) (so about 3 minutes and the eggs should be perfectly fried).
Now the making of the egg sandwich!



Take 2 slices of bread and and spread with butter or good mayo (I used garlic aioli YUM).  Place 3 slices of bacon on top of that then the tomato slices (with salt and pepper), avocado lettuce, and the fried egg on top.  Top the sandwich with the final piece of bread and indulge.  Warning you may want to consume all 4 of these sandwiches as they are awesome and so much better with fresh ingredients and with the extra fixings.  Enjoy this Just Good Food!
