Lunch is normally when sandwiches come out but the other week I was enjoying the fantastic poached eggs on toast with chipotle mayonnaise, bacon and avocado , an open faced sandwich, for breakfast and lunch sure was getting jealous! I was feeling a little bad about the whole situation and I had an idea about how to make things right; I could bring some of that chipotle lime mayo lovin to lunch by adding it to one of my favourite sandwiches the BLT. Just to make absolutely sure that there were no hard feeling I also brought along some avocado and a fried egg with runny yolk; which makes almost anything better.
Although a BLT is really good just the way it is, you can make it even better by adding things. Over the last few years I have done a bit of experimenting with different kinds of BLT’s including ones with pesto mixed into the mayonnaise, ones with avocado and ones with fried eggs. Both the avocado BLT and the fried egg BLT are great so I knew that adding both could only make things better. Pesto mayo BLTs are also crave inducing so one with creamy and spicy chipotle mayo could only be good!
I am happy to report that lunch is feeling better now and we can go back to being close friends. The BLT with avocado, chipotle mayo and a fried egg was simply amazing! It certainly is a bit on the messy side with avocado, egg yolk and tomato juices popping out every which way but it is defintely worth it and besides, you can always lick your plate and fingers clean.

July 24, 2011 at 10:58 pmMm I love a good, drippy egg! I might opt to eat something like this open-face though, since I don't like good drippy egg all over my hands. The flavor combo here looks amaaazing though 🙂

I empathize with your cooking – till last week (last week!) I lived in a small caravan with no working surface and a tiny rubbish oven. We must like challenges!

July 25, 2011 at 10:22 amI'm glad you're not playing favorites with your meals! They're kind of like siblings…they get jealous. 😛 This sounds delicious! I love the combination of egg with avocado.

July 25, 2011 at 4:50 pmYou can't go wrong with a BLT and egg. I think fried eggs are not used enough in cooking. They are great on hamburgers and deli meats as well.

July 25, 2011 at 6:55 pmI love your blog! I've been (secretly) following it for years. Thanks for all you do.
I really love the combination of bacon and avacado! The added chipotle mayo I'm sure will give it an extra flavor boost! Oh my, this looks like a winner.

July 25, 2011 at 10:59 pmRunny eggs are the best – it's always nice to dip the bread in the yolk 🙂
Frankie says
July 25, 2011 at 11:45 pmOh my goodness, the shot with the broken yolk just made my stomach jump into my head, kicked out my brain, and is driving this boat now.
