This is my husband's favorite thing on Sundays. He loves it with the egg dripping over the bacon.
I tried several kinds of bread and toasting methods and finally dialed it down to the perfect and Best BLT!

Steps

15 mins

1

Lay bacon flat on a griddle or large frying pan and fry till golden crispy
2

Meanwhile butter 1 side of each slice of bread
3

Drain bacon on paper towel. Dump grease and wipe pan with a paper towel.
4

Heat same griddle on med heat and toast bread starting with the butter side down. Flip bread and place cheese on 4 slices. Toast till golden on each side.
5

If you want egg, while bread is toasting fry eggs in a small amount of butter in a non stick skillet.
6

Place 5 half strips of bacon evenly on top of cheese, then lettuce, 2 slices of tomato, grind some pepper on tomato, spread mayo on top slice of bread and wallah!
7

For California style: layer bacon on top of cheese, lettuce, tomato, ground pepper on tomato, then 1 and 1/2 slices of avacado, or enough to cover bread then mayo on top slice and press down gently. The avacado against the mayo keeps it from slipping out.
8

For Breakfast style: Place egg on top of cheese, then bacon, lettuce, tomato, ground pepper and spread mayo on top slice. ENJOY!
