Breakfast BLT

Bill Harris・2 Comments

Breakfast BLT

My favorite morning meal is a breakfast sandwich of some kind…maybe be a breakfast burrito, a croissant with egg and sausage, or a panini with scrambled eggs and cheese. When I’m shopping at Whole Foods I can’t resist the bread section and this weekend I grabbed a loaf of sourdough hearth bread, knowing that a breakfast sandwich would be on the weekend menu. My Mom served bacon, lettuce, and tomato (BLT) sandwiches for summer supper on a regular basis. They were always served on white bread with lots of mayo and I still love them that way! In this post I transform this classic sandwich to delicious morning meal.

I realize that this post doesn’t really require a recipe, but this is a great way to start the day, so I figured I’d post it anyway. The addition to pesto mayonnaise takes it over the top!

    I can’t wait to try it. I love BLT’s , but I’m going to use spinach. The egg is a great idea.

    I enjoyed a fabulous BLT sandwich in local haute-from that point on, I have been craving good BLT sandwiches…I love mine on a good sour dough too, with sliced avocado.

    Your breakfast sandwich rocks.
