How to Make a Quick and Easy Fried Egg BLT:
For this sandwich, I love using my FAVORITE rustic sourdough loaf by Schar. I grab it at my local Sprouts, but you can also find it at other grocery stores or the Schar website. I love this bread because I can slice it from the bottom up to get nice huge slices while keeping them super thin. Maximum sandwich size without using more carbs than I want.
You can also use sliced bread if that’s what you prefer. I just like getting that ultra-thin slice that is crispy and crunchy once I toast it up. Plus, using Schar keeps this recipe gluten-free. Totally your choice, but if you’re using unsliced bread like me, make sure to carefully slice it into thin slices.
Once your bread is cut, it’s time to toast it up. I like toasting bread in a pan with a spritz of olive oil spray on each side. So toasty. So delicious! It’s all about the crunch for me. The crunchier the sandwich the better. You can’t beat it!
Once your bread is toasty, your sandwich is ready to build! Spread toasted bread with Calabrian chili mayo, and top with ham, bacon, thick sliced tomato seasoned with salt and pepper, and a fried egg.

In my opinion, tomatoes can make or break a sandwich! If they’re beautiful and sweet, the thicker slice the better! If they’re nothing special, I’ll leave the tomato slice thinner and maybe even marinate them in balsamic vinegar for a few minutes to give them some life. So delish!
To finish off your fried egg BLT, top the sandwich with chopped bell peppers, basil leaves, green onions, and arugula. Trust me, don’t sleep on the fresh basil to make this sandwich!
