If you don't mind, it doesn't matter.
If you can't already tell by the candle (and The Carte Blanche Old Fashioned from last night), the husband's birthday celebrations have begun! We started off the morning with a requested, Birthday BLTE.
Bacon, bacon and more bacon (it was his birthday, why not.), a variety of greens from our garden (tour of the garden to come soon!), vine tomato, and two slightly runny fried eggs. Since he is not a fan of mayo, I made up a quick and dirty basil oil to use to wet the toast. All and all, he had a big smile on his face and lots of crumbs on his shirt.
Here's what you need:
2 slices of bread, toasted
8 or so leavese of basil
olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
1 vine tomato
a variety of mixed greens
center cut bacon, bacon, and more bacon (at least 6 slices)
2 eggs, fried and slightly runny
Get some bacon going in the pan (this was round two).
Not too crowded.
Let it brown and flip over.
Mmmm, brown toasty goodness.
Flip all pieces and cook until done.
Move pieces to a paper towel and let drain.
Grab a tomato.
Slice it up.
Get some basil, about 8 or so leaves.
Roll the leaves up together and slice.
Then chop some more.
Add chopped basil to a bowl.
Add 2-3 teaspoons of olive oil.
Add some Kosher salt and pepper to taste.
Mix and let sit.
Get a pan ready to fry some eggs.
Crack two eggs.
Dump eggs into pan.
Lovely eggs.
Once whites are mostly cooked through, flip.
Split.
Get ready for some sammich making. Plate.
Bread.
Toasted bread.
Pick some greens from the garden, or grab some out of the fridge.
Layer onto toast.
Add slices of tomato.
Add bacon (about 6 slices).
Spread the rest of the basil oil on the other side.
Top with cooked (still runny on the inside) fried eggs.
Cover.
If you are making a Birthday BLTE, stick a candle in (or if you just feel like making a wish).
Sing: "Happy Birthday to you, you live in a zoo, you smell like a stinky dirty monkey, and you look like one too...."
Sliced up. Mmmmm....
