The Best BLT You Will Ever Eat

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at Oregon chapter.

Tired of that old and bland BLT? I have got the answer for you. So, we all know how obsessed we are with avocado and bacon, so heavenly. As we college students know, it’s sometimes hard finding new sandwiches to eat without racking up the pounds or better yet, the bills. This is a juicy, yet lightweight sandwich that will keep you coming back for more.

3. Chop the tomatoes and carve out as many slices of avocado as you want for your sandwich.

Tip: If you aren’t a pro at cutting avocados, here are a couple suggestions. Remember, there is a gigantic seed in the middle so watch out for it when you are cutting the avocado right in half. Secondly, pull apart the two halves and scoop the avocado out with a spoon.

4. Crack an egg into an already greased pan. Really watch the egg to make sure you don’t overcook it because you want the yolk to be able to ooze all over the sandwich. It doesn’t take more than 3 minutes to cook.

5. Now it is time to assemble this grand sandwich. First take your two pieces of bread and lather on the spicy mayo sauce. If you aren’t too keen on spicy, maybe don’t overdo it on the sauce. Add the bacon, tomato, avocado, spinach and egg in that order. Don’t forget to season with salt and pepper. Yes, this is not your average BLT. It’s better.
