Why You’ll Love This Breakfast Sandwich
- BLT for Breakfast – Have you ever wanted to eat a BLT (bacon, lettuce, tomato) for breakfast? Well now you can, with the addition of an egg to make it the perfect morning meal.
- Better Than Fast Food – Admittedly this is more time-consuming than running through the drive-thru in the morning, but it tastes a million times better!
- Delicious Ingredients – This sandwich is filled with eggs, bacon, Roma tomatoes, lettuce, and avocado mayo, all on an English muffin.
Ingredients
- English Muffins
- Eggs
- Tomatoes – I recommend using Roma tomatoes for the beautiful flavor, but you can use any kind of tomatoes for this recipe.
- Bacon
- Lettuce – I like using a nice leafy green (like Romaine), but you can use any kind of greens you have.
- Avocado Mayo – A mixture of avocado, mayonnaise, and garlic.
- Basil
I personally feel like this breakfast sandwich is the perfect combination of ingredients, but I love how easy it is to make substitutions. You might want to leave out the basil if you don’t like it, or if you’re vegetarian you could skip the bacon (or use tempeh). And if you want to add a slice of cheese, go ahead!
How to Make this Breakfast BLT
- Start off by roasting the tomatoes. This will take the longest out of all the steps, but you can do everything else while they cook.
- While those are in the oven, make the avocado mayo by blending together avocado, mayonnaise, and garlic.
- Fry up the eggs in the last 10 minutes of tomato roast time, so they’re still warm when you make the sandwiches.
- Assemble your breakfast sandwiches and enjoy!

Can I make these breakfast sandwiches ahead of time?
These breakfast sandwiches are best when made fresh, but you can do a few things ahead of time/the night before to speed up the process in the morning.
- Roast the tomatoes so they’re ready to go in the morning. You can also use uncooked tomatoes to skip the cook time.
- Cook the bacon ahead of time. You can keep it in the refrigerator for a day or two before adding it to your sandwiches.
- The avocado mayo can also be made ahead of time and refrigerated. The top layer might brown in the fridge overnight, but you can just skim it off if that bothers you.
If you do all of that, you can just quickly assemble the breakfast BLTs in the morning. All you’ll need to do is cook the eggs fresh and reheat some of the other ingredients (if you prefer).
Servings Suggestions
These breakfast BLTs are FULL of ingredients. With every food group inside the sandwich itself, this makes a great all-in-one meal. But I love serving these with a side of fruit to add a little something light and sweet.
If you have time to sit down and enjoy these, you could serve them with a side of breakfast potatoes. And don’t forget the coffee (I like Bulletproof Coffee or Iced Coffee).
Breakfast BLT Sandwich Variations & Tips
- You can make the bacon however you like. I recommend trying this Baked Candied Whiskey Bacon for an extra flavor twist.
- I like my eggs sunny-side up on these breakfast sandwiches, but you could also make scrambled, over easy, or any way you like. Fried eggs work best.
- To make it a little bit healthier, you can mix the avocado with Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise. You could also just use fresh avocado slices instead. Other than that, this breakfast BLT is a pretty good balance of ingredients.
- If you’re vegan, skip the eggs and bacon, use the Greek yogurt avocado mixture, and if you want, add tempeh in place of bacon. It’s still a super delicious (faux BLT) sandwich!
- For a little more decadence, replace the avocado mayo with this easy hollandaise sauce.
Now it’s time to go enjoy those Breakfast BLT sandwiches! I love eating these and they seem to be a big hit with everyone.

The Ultimate Breakfast BLT

- 2 leafs fresh lettuce
- 2-4 slices bacon cooked as preferred
- 1 avocado
- 2 eggs

- Bake tomatoes for 45 minutes. Once finished, set aside. (Note: roasting the tomatoes in optional, but DELICIOUS! If you have time, it's worth it!)
- While tomatoes are roasting, make your fried egg. You can cook the egg however you like best; I chose sunny side up. Set aside.
- Combine sliced avocado, mayo, and garlic in a blender. Blend until well combined. If too thick, add 1 tablespoon olive oil. Set aside.
- To assemble sandwich, spread avocado mayo on the inside of each half of your toasted english muffin. Top the bottom half with 1 piece lettuce, 2 slices bacon, 3 slices roasted tomatoes, 1 fried egg, and the top of the english muffin.
- Repeat with second english muffin.
- ENJOY!
