Your favorite BLT just checked in for the breakfast shift! And we have to say it’s worth getting out of bed for. These Breakfast BLT Sandwiches have everything you love about a classic BLT, tucked inside a toasted everything bagel. Plus a couple extra additions to make this breakfast sandwich something you’ll look forward to in the morning.

We love a good breakfast sandwich. They’re convenient, not super complicated and great for those mornings you’re on the go, but want something that satisfies like a meal. These breakfast BLT’s hit all the right notes. The base of each sandwich is a toasted everything bagel spread with creamy chipotle mayonnaise for a flavorful, slightly spicy kick. It’s then layered with crispy bacon, fried eggs, juicy tomato slices, and fresh romaine lettuce. Each bite is salty, crisp, juicy from the tomato and just a bit of spice from the mayo. 

They’re comforting but exciting enough to leave you looking forward to breakfast in the morning. They’re perfect for weekly meal prepping, slow mornings or anytime you want a breakfast sandwich that feels comforting.

How to Make Breakfast BLT Sandwiches, Step by Step

Step 1. Cook bacon strips in the oven. 

Once you cook bacon in the oven, you won’t go back to cooking it on the stovetop. It’s one of our favorite kitchen hacks because it cooks the bacon evenly and reduces the clean-up of cooking the bacon on the stovetop. You don’t have to worry about grease popping and splattering on you or your countertops. 

Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a rimmed baking sheet with foil. Lay 10-12 strips of bacon on the baking sheet and bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes until crispy. 

Once the bacon is done cooking, remove the bacon strips from the pan and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to soak up any extra grease.

Step 2. Fry eggs in the skillet and prep the other sandwich fillings.

If you’ve never fried eggs, we will break it down for you. It’s not that hard; the main thing is not to overcook the eggs because they can burn or stick to the sides and create a really crispy outside. 

Start by heating a skillet over medium-low heat. This will give the eggs time to cook gently without burning the bottoms.

Fully coat the pan with 4 tablespoons of butter, making sure the entire surface of the pan is coated before adding the eggs. 

Crack 3-4 eggs into the skillet at a time. It’s important you don’t overcrowd the skillet so that you have enough room to flip the eggs. Each sandwich is getting 2 eggs, so you will cook 2-3 batches of eggs for these bagel sandwiches. 

Cook the eggs for a couple of minutes on each side for well-done eggs. For runnier eggs, cook for 30 seconds to a minute. Carefully flip the eggs over so that you don’t crack the eggs.

Repeat this cooking method for the other batches until all eggs are cooked.

Step 3. Slice and toast bagels. Assemble the sandwiches and enjoy while they’re warm.

Toast bagels so that they are warm and slightly crisp on the edges. Assemble the sandwiches while the bagels and eggs are still warm.

Spread a thin layer of chipotle mayonnaise on each bagel half. Then layer with bacon, lettuce, tomato slices, and two eggs. They’re best if enjoyed hot!

Tips for Making Breakfast BLT Bagel Sandwiches

• Cook bacon in the oven until crispy. The oven will cook the bacon evenly, but make sure to cook it until it’s nice and crisp. It will add the perfect salty crunch to every bite. 
• Toast the bagels before assembling the sandwiches. Toasting will give the bread a slight crisp and crunch to each bite. It also prevents the bread from becoming soggy once you add the mayonnaise and juicy tomatoes. 
• Don’t skip the chipotle mayo! It is the kick that this sandwich needs. It adds a bit of flavor and spice to each bite and pairs perfectly with the bacon, eggs, and fresh tomato. This sandwich also doesn’t have cheese, so it adds some extra moisture.
• Assemble the sandwiches while everything is still warm. Nobody wants cold eggs! For the best BLT, layer warm eggs, crispy bacon, and a hot, toasted bagel just before serving. That way the warmth melds the flavors together, and the texture is perfect.

How to Meal Prep These BLT Breakfast Sandwiches

These sandwiches are great for meal prepping! Here’s what we recommend: 

• Make bacon and eggs ahead of time
• Toast the bagel right before assembling
• Storage: Store lettuce, tomatoes, eggs, and bacon in separate containers. 
• Assembly: Reheat bacon and eggs in the microwave, toast the bagel, and assemble sandwiches.

Storing Leftover Breakfast BLT Sandwiches

Store assembled sandwiches in the fridge for 1-2 days. 

If you are meal prepping, store cooked bacon, eggs, and vegetables in separate containers in the refrigerator. Bacon and eggs should be good for up to 3-4 days in the fridge. Assemble the sandwiches fresh.
