Ginger and T Cook: The Glorified BLT

Let me start by saying that eggs are not my favorite food. After a very nasty experience on a mission trip to Romania about 13 years ago (wow, that makes me feel old) I didn't eat eggs for a long time. When I do eat eggs it is usually only scrambled, and occasionally boiled. That's it! I don't do the runny, yolkie (yes I just made that word up) eggs. Nasty!

  So, our new recipe for this week was definitely a stretch for me, but I did it, and I'm proud! T and I cooked what I'll call "The Glorified BLT." It was an idea of T's, probably mainly because it involved bacon, and he's one of those people that likes runny, yolkie eggs.

  We started out with some sourdough bread fresh from our grocer's bakery, tomato slices, lettuce, avocado, pepper bacon, eggs and spicy mayo. We made the mayo by mixing some spicy chili sauce into regular mayo.

 

 

  I fried the bacon, while T made the eggs. Now let me tell y'all that T was super excited about this recipe because I got good bacon. He told me, "now we can't do this with that turkey bacon stuff that you usually buy. It's gotta be the good stuff." So, I got the good bacon. You know, the kind that actually comes from a pig. 

  T cooked the eggs by cracking them on the skillet and letting them cook on the lowest setting. Nice and slow and no flipping. When he said they were ready, but I'd noticed he hadn't flipped them and he said he wasn't going to I made a scrunchy face and moved on with my life. We then assembled the sandwiches. And.....I knew it was coming, but I was still slightly terrified. Very quickly after putting everything together the yellow gooey stuff started running everywhere. 

  Now I know you may be thinking.....I thought she said this was a BLT. Yeah....I took the pictures, but forgot to put in the "L." Oops, please forgive me. 

  I did very well with the runny, yolkie stuff and the sandwich was absolutely delicious. The combined flavors of the egg, bacon and avocado were fabulous. Give it a try!
