Fried Egg BLT Salad
2-3 strips of raw bacon - thicker cut
1 medium, wedged tomato - not too ripe
1 egg, fried
Handful of greens
4 tsp olive oil
1 tsp white balsamic (or lemon juice - an acid that won't stain the nice white egg)
DeLaurenti Croutons
Salt & Pepper

We just tasted about a dozen BLTs (and PLTs - "P" as in Pancetta) to include on our menu for the cafe so we have bacon on our mind. We tossed around a few ideas, and this one came up as an amalgamation of a couple of recipes: the BLT with a fried egg and the BLT as a salad. I think you'll like what came out of this brainstorming session....

One egg = one salad. This recipe assumes you're eating alone.


Mix the olive oil, vinegar, salt and pepper, and dress the salad. Wrap the tomato wedges with 1/2 slice of bacon and fry them on all sides. Fry the egg in the bacon fat! Set the wedges and fried egg on the dressed greens, drop in the croutons and go at it.
