Open Faced BLT Sandwich Recipe
Guys … It’s August 1st! How did that happen!? I feel like I blinked and now we are headed into days of the internet turning into one big pumpkin fest!
For all things holy … please, pretty please hold off on making pumpkin recipes until late August or early September. I want to get my grill on and enjoy all the fresh fresh produce until my little guy is in school. Once school hits, then we’ll focus on the comfort food and pumpkin recipes. Mkay? Is that a deal!
Ok, now that we got that over with. Let’s talk Harissa shall we.
I’m kinda obsessed with the stuff and so is my son. I told him that we were having eggs with harissa for dinner and he literally started jumping around the kitchen saying … “mmm … yah mommy I like harissa!”
What is Harissa?
Harissa is a moroccan sauce that has a roasted red pepper base and then they had some heat to it to get you addicted. We stick to the mild version because I like my tastebuds to stay in tact. But for those who can brave it, the spicy is pretty good too… just clears your sinuses out. 🙂
Why I Love This Open Faced BLT Sandwich
BLT’s are basically the bomb.com. Think about it.. mounds of bacon smushed in between two slices of bread, add a few veggies and then call it a sandwich. Sounds good to me! Right!?
So to put my own touch on it, I decided to make this BLT Sandwich open faced, got rid of the mayo, decreased the amount of bacon, and added the Harissa for a boost of flavor.
When in doubt, put on an egg on it!
Eggs just make everything better … and a runny yoke makes it even more irresistible. It’s basically like adding another sauce without adding another sauce. Genius!
This Open Faced BLT Sandwich with Harissa is definitely a winner. So many different flavors with only 7 ingredients! It’s perfect for breakfast, lunch or dinner … I’ll let you decide. Personally, I’m all about something like this for dinner, cuz breakfast for dinner is my thing! 🙂 Pancakes anyone?
Alright, I hope this makes your Monday better … and if not just think tonight we get to find out who JoJo picks on the Bachelorette! Woot Woot!
Bon Appetit sweet friends!
