Just a BLT?

Sometimes I get really lazy and find it hard to be clever in the kitchen night after night. Sometimes I run out of time and have a really busy day wrangling Storkbite. On all the days when I can’t take it anymore, I serve BLTs and sometimes BLTEs. That would be the classic bacon, lettuce, tomato and the bacon, lettuce, tomato, egg respectively. I try to sex them up a bit with some olive oil or lime mayo, colorful tomatoes, Texas sweet bacon or whatever. This time the only thing sexy about these BLTEs was that I used red and orange tomatoes and leftover hamburger buns from the weekend. The only secret to a good BLT is to toast the bread!

In last night’s dinner, you will see a reprise of the ingredients from the classic spinach salad. I used some of my hard-boiled eggs, tomatoes and bacon. It’s a great quick meal and can be done in a variety of ways. There is no shame in eating a good old BLT.
