Connor’s Ultimate BLT Sandwich
Today I’m sharing a very easy, very normal sandwich. Connor’s ultimate BLT sandwich to be exact. He used to live on BLT’s as a kid (or so he says), so I ended up making a new upgraded version for him the other day.
Fuel for all of the studying he’s doing at the moment. I might argue that this is a nap-inducing kind of sandwich, but to each their own.
The base is thick, toasted sourdough bread smeared with sriracha mayonnaise and topped with peppery arugula, sliced tomato, crisp bacon, a sunny-side up egg, and ripe avocado.
So, really, this is not a traditional BLT. In my opinion, it is far superior.
Regardless this ultimate BLT sandwich is most definitely Friday food!

Loved this inspiration. I added a small amount of minced garlic, lemon juice and salt to the sriracha/mayo mix and replaced rocket with baby spinach… delish!
Muchas gracias Laura es un delicioso sándwich!
You can also fry the egg in the avocado, like a toad in a hole with bread. That’s great on its own and would be killer on this!! Great sammy idea!
Wow! I may even have to try this as your dad now claims that he is tired of “breakfast foods”! I don’t know about the mayonnaise though! It looks beautiful! Hope to make my first BELTA sandwich soon!
I mean, a cocktail would go well with asparagus mimosa for a brunch party perhaps? Maybe a Bellini?
This sandwich is definitely Sunday morning food for my one and only. The sriracha mayo will definitely catch his attention 🙂
The first time i heard of an asparagus mimosa, I totally thought that also!! Thankfully, that is NOT the case…but I do wonder how those two very different things ended up with the same name.
You just can’t go wrong with this kind of classic sandwich!
Oh, am getting hungry just looking at this!
Thanks! 🙂
WOW, this looks SO good!! 🙂
This is LOVELY! I just made BLTS last week – so friggin good!!!
I can guarantee I will crave this until I make it. Looks delicious!
Oh, this looks heavenly! I need one of these right now.
So much deliciousness on one sandwich! Love it!
first, you always have the BEST prep pics, so I just wanted to point that out. second, I die for the way that avocado lays over the egg and is just an explosion of color and texture – this looks amazing.
You are so sweet! Thank you, thank you!!! 🙂
Eek I’m dying over the cuteness of the egg in the avocado! I would totally still consider this a BLT, just a fancified BETTER BLT — just the way I like ’em.
I got that idea from some avocado ad I saw the other day–talk about random sources of inspiration! 😉
This is my kinda sandwich. Thanks for sharing it with us.
The way that avocado and egg fit together is like they were meant to be. Perfection!
Thanks so much Lindsay!
Oh my goodness!! This sammie is off the charts!!
Love arugula, sriracha bacon and avocado so this is my sandwich! Beautiful twist on a classic 🙂
So glad you like it! Thanks Liz!
Avocado is always a must on my BLT’s! This is one killer sammie!
Thanks Kelli! 🙂
I mean, really is there any other way to do a BLT? In my opinion the avocado + runny egg is always a must! Why make one without? It’s too good this way!! 🙂
No but really, I love this sandwich. Amazing all around!
That is so funny that people thought you were making an asparagus cocktail. Mom is going to be shocked that you put this on your blog!
I’m all over this sammie! It’s definitely ultimate and I like it.
This look amazing!
you had me as soon as i eyed those thick slabs of bacon!
Love your blog!
Thanks Abigail! Bacon is pretty fun to photograph 🙂
