BLT Breakfast Sandwich

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1

   Cook bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels. Pour off excess fat, leaving about 1 tablespoon in the skillet.

2. 2

   Toast the bread slices in a toaster or the skillet until golden brown.

3. 3

   In the same skillet with the bacon fat, melt butter if using. Crack the egg into the skillet. Fry to your desired doneness, seasoning with salt and pepper. For a runny yolk, cook about 2-3 minutes.

4. 4

   Assemble the sandwich: Place one slice of toast on a plate. Layer with lettuce, tomato slices, the fried egg, and crispy bacon. Top with the second slice of toast.

5. 5

   Serve immediately.
