I don’t know how many calories are in it. A lot would be my guess. But it truly is the world’s best sandwich. I’ve changed the recipe a little from Thomas Keller’s original, only because I don’t like mayo and I find the cheese unnecessary.
The World’s Best Sandwich
4 large eggs
8 thick slices of bacon
8 thick slices of bread, toasted and hot
1/4 cup BLT dressing (recipe follows)
8 tomato slices
8 leaves of butter lettuce
Place bacon on a cookie sheet and bake at 400 for 10 minutes, or until crispy. Transfer to paper towels to drain.
Toast bread and spread the dressing on each slice of toast, then top with the bacon, tomato and lettuce.
In a nonstick skillet, melt 1 tsp of butter. Add the eggs and fry over moderate heat, turning once, until crisp around the edge, about 4 minutes; the yolk should still be runny. Slide the egg onto the lettuce; close the sandwich and eat right away.
Makes 4 sandwiches.
BLT dressing
3 tablespoons real mayo (Hellmans)
1 tablespoon Greek yogurt
one clove of garlic, grated
juice of half a small lemon
salt and pepper to taste
