Breakfast BLT’s is a toasted English muffin topped with peppery arugula, oven-roasted tomato and finished off with a fried egg and chopped, fresh parsley.
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.
To Make These Breakfast BLT’s You Will Need:
- roma tomatoes
- olive oil
- fresh thyme
- kosher salt
- freshly ground black pepper
- bacon
- reserved bacon fat
- eggs
- English muffins
- baby arugula
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.
Whether it’s for breakfast, lunch or brinner. PLEASE make these Breakfast BLT’s!
