It’s no secret.

I, Laurie, am a BLT obsessed.

We make BLT’s on the regular in our house. Open face, with turkey or sandwiched between toasted bread, a little mayo, crispy lettuce, garden tomatoes, a little onion, white cheddar and of course. And always thick cut slices of applewood slab bacon. So why in the heck didn’t I think of making BLT’s for breakfast?

Lucky for us, somebody did.

So I’m pretty sure you can imagine my excitement when I stumbled upon Riley’s (My Daily Morsel — who’s website is no longer available) recipe for breakfast BLT’s. I was like, “oh heck yes!”. Thesebreakfast BLT’s don’t call for crazy ingredients and are simply… a toasted English muffin topped with peppery arugula, oven-roasted tomato <—this is where it’s all at! Then finished off with a fried egg and chopped, fresh parsley.

The oven-roasted tomatoes are surprisingly the show stopper of this hearty rustic breakfast. Simply drizzle Roma tomato halves with olive oil, salt and pepper and a few fresh thyme leaves before pushing them into the oven to roast. The smell alone makes me want to eat them plain. So, so good.
