Breakfast BLT


One of my husbands favorite sandwiches is a BLT. So when I came across a breakfast version, I knew I had to make it for him and I was so glad I did. The toasted English muffin, the crispy bacon, the roasted tomato, the peppery arugula and a runny egg; absolutely delicious!

Breakfast BLT

Ingredients:

  • 4 Roma tomatoes, cut in half lengthwise
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon thyme leaves
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 slices turkey bacon
  • 4 eggs
  • 4 English muffins, split and toasted
  • 1 cup arugula leaves
  • miracle whip

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400º F.
  2. Arrange the tomatoes, cut side up, on a rimmed baking sheet.
  3. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with thyme and black pepper.
  4. Roast for 25-30 minutes or until the tomatoes are very tender and shrunken. Remove from pan and set aside.
  5. In a skillet, over medium high heat cook bacon until crispy on both sides. Transfer to a paper towel lined plate.
  6. Reduce heat to medium and add in any additional olive oil to the bacon fat to equal 2 tablespoons combined.
  7. Crack the eggs into the pan, doing it in batches depending on the size of your pan, and cook for 2-5 minutes depending on how runny you want the eggs. Remove the eggs.
  8. To assemble the sandwiches place the bottom of each English muffins on 4 individual plates.
  9. Top each English muffin with arugula, bacon, roasted tomato and fried egg.
  10. Spread miracle whip on top half of English muffin and place on top of sandwiches.
Enjoy!!!
