BELT (Bacon Egg Lettuce Tomato) Sandwich
+Sandwich+1+500.jpg "BELT (Bacon Egg Lettuce Tomato) Sandwich")
I certainly have been enjoying a lot of sandwiches lately! Chief among them have been BLT's with all of the fresh local tomatoes that are around right now. While I was researching the fried green tomato BLT that I made not too long ago I came across the idea of a BELT or a Bacon Egg Tomato sandwich where the egg component was in the form of a simple egg salad. The creamy egg and mayo filling reminded me of the avocado and mayo filling that I added to a BLT a while ago, called a BLAT (Bacon, Lettuce, Avocado and Tomato) sandwich, that I really enjoyed. Since I had also been wanting to try making an egg salad the BELT sandwich quickly made it to my meal plan. The egg salad was pretty easy to make and since I was going to be using it in a BLT I decided to keep the flavours nice and simple and I only added some mayo, mustard and chives to the eggs. The BELT sandwich was pretty messy with egg salad squishing out the sides with every bite, but it was so worth the mess as it tasted great! The creamy and tangy egg salad went really well with the juicy tomatoes and the salty bacon. I will definitely be making more of these sandwiches in the future and now I am looking forward to making a full flavoured egg salad even more.

Looks yummy!
I love how you can take a generic idea and run with it. These look really good.
Lol "Belt" I love it!
This looks delish! I often add curry powder to egg salad and I think I'll try that with the bacon, tomato and lettuce.
Oh my gosh...anything egg-salad-sandwichy is my favorite. This looks scrumptious!
Kevin, great photo of the BELT...thanks
Simple, yet totally yummy sandwich I love the addition os egg.
I love the addition of the bacon in an egg sandwich. I usually use pancetta and it just sends it over the top. You have me craving one again!
I think I'm going to treat myself and have this for my breakfast tomorrow! Thanks for the idea :)
Nothing beats a good sandwich and if someone else made it for you, it is even better!!!!
MMMMMMMMMM,...what a lovely breakfast sandwich!
Thank you, I'm hungry... it's 12 here in France! I know what to eat now!
Chives and egg are so yummy together! I love the looks of this sandwich. So intuitive and yet, why haven't I thought of it!
That previous lobster sandwich would have to be one of the more decadent sandwiches I've seen. I like the simplicity of the BELT sandwich too though :)
I'm a curry egg sandwich lover too. Making some in the next few days. Using curry paste.
I found when you cure your own bacon and make your own mayo it just takes these sandwiches into a different league!
Wow! Loved your blog, everything here looks delicious! I'm your follower now. If you want to visit my recipes blog, the adress is: www.nossacozinhadani.blogspot.com. As I'm brazilian, the website is in portuguese, but I think you might like it.
This is so close to my all-time favorite diner order: The BELTCH! Bacon, Egg, Lettuce, Tomato and CHeese.
So so satifying in the middle of the night.
Never thought of putting some egg on there....great idea!
I've been making these too, with a slice of cheese... I call it my heart attack sandwich! But it's so yummy!!
My husband would love this sammie - thanks Kevin!
Great Idea!
this is the type of sandwich i want to wake up to in the morning!
Mmm...I love egg salad sandwiches. I never would have thought up all these different BLT combos. Thanks for the enlightenment. :)
Is that for breakfast or lunch? I vote for both, I'll take two please!

This is a great little sandwich. I make these from time to time when I am in the middle of a movie and I get slightly hungry. I put the film on pause and make myself a BLT or a BELT. I don't know who invented them but they are wonderful. It must have been the same chap who invented the club. Have you ever heard of a 'chip butty' from the UK?
James Walsh: Yep! My father is from the UK so I learned a bit about butty's.
Un panino delizioso!
My mom is from NC and she always added a fried egg to our BLTE's :0)
This is ingenious! Definitely a great spin on one of my all time favorite sandwiches.
