It’s been a long time since I’ve had a BLT – and it was just as good now as it always has been. The beauty of this particular sandwich is that you use the sunny side egg to be your condiment, rather than slathering on mayo and mustard. I didn’t really think I liked sunny side eggs, but the yolk oozing down each time you take a bite is so delicious you don’t even need anything else. We chose to buy sourdough, but next time I make these we will just use whatever whole grain bread we’ve got on hand. This sandwich was quick and simple and surprisingly filling. Be careful if you want to add chips, the sandwich carries enough calories alone.

Lin the bottom half of the bread with the arugula, followed by the tomato slices and bacon. Set the cooked egg carefully on top and season with a pinch of salt and plenty of fresh cracked pepper. Top with the second slice of bread.

[My 2 cents]
We opted to just use romaine lettuce instead of arugula. I don’t really like the taste of arugula, it’s got a kick that I am not a fan of. We always have romaine on hand, but use whatever you’ve got. We also substituted turkey bacon for regular bacon. It’s only got 35 calories a slice, rather than regular bacon which usually has 65 calories a slice. The turkey bacon tasted great, and I didn’t even miss the other!

I never would have thought of using an egg, but I guess that would taste pretty good with the bacon. I’m making this for lunch!
This would be a great brunch meal, totally making this for this weekend.
Oh man!! I could go for one of those right now. Putting the egg on it is a brilliant idea…I’ve never thought of that! Although, mine would have to be cooked through
This is definitely something I can make on GF bread
The egg is a good idea too, I have been using avocado in place of the mayo but this is probably a little bit better, nice one!
I gotta try the egg idea…Boca burgers are getting old LOL
I made these the other day and it was a great add with the egg.
