Served on my own sourdough that was toasted in the bacon grease and smothered with homemade mayo.
I only make this sandwich during peak tomato season. My arteries couldn’t do this year round.
Season that tomato dog.
I disagree! If it’s peak tomato season that tomato taste nothing like your local grocery store tomatoes
Even in season veggies need seasoning dawg. Just a little salt goes a long way.
Each to their own my man. If we end up eating tomatoes together I’ll also provide a salt shaker without a frown 🤝
I respect that. 👊
I respect that and will punch you in the face
I punch you.
Respectfully tho.
That’s what the bacon is for.
Bacon is salty you’re not wrong. But each ingredient should get seasoned imo.
That said, to each their own.
It makes sense not to salt the tomato directly in this context because adding salt will draw out the water and make your sandwich more soggy. You could probably do it right before eating, but I think the saltiness of the bacon would be fine.
I believe the move is to pat the tomatoes dry to remove the excess water after you salt them to avoid them being to wet.
That said, i typically eont salt my tomatoes just cause im lazy and dont want the extra work lol. But if i did go the extra mile, i would salt them for added flavor.
Just my opinion but not everything needs seasoning.
I will give it a shot next time. Thanks Randy Jackson! :)
Today, I am a BELTalowda!
Den we share de kibble, ke? Owkwa Beltalowda!
Forget your arteries, what about your jaw trying to wrap around that thing lol
Without a good smash this would have slipped right out of my hands before it even got to my mouth.
How do you cook the egg?
It’s a Cantonese-style scramble called whampoa chaodan.
Don’t make me get out the belt.
I’m a huge fan of the BLAT (avocado). But I’d be down with a BELT or maybe even a BLEAT.
You know, I used to always add mayo as well, but I found that with a toasted sandwich like that. It’s honestly better without and tastier. I did breakfast sandwiches like this with homegrown jalapenos and tomatoes, with sausage, egg, and pepper jack. Your tomatoes and eggs are already very wet ingredients, the mayo just makes it over the top, and heart attack inducing. Didn’t think it was worth it. I did toast with a little bacon grease though.
IMO, Mayo is a must on a standard BLT. A fresh ripe tomato pairs amazingly with mayo and the fat layer keeps it’s juices from soaking into the bread.
Especially if kewpie
On a standard BLT? 100% agree.
It just depends on how many 'moist ingredients are on a sandwich for me though. Like, I can’t stand when a sandwich is just absolutely soaked with wet ingredients.
That sounds like another tasty sandwich! I forego cheese in mine since the egg and mayonnaise end up providing that same sort of creamy richness. I can see how the cheese might end up helping to keep everything better combined, though. Thanks for the insight!
Mind if I ask how you do your sourdough? I had a starter that I tended to for months, but my sourdough always came out super dense and not risen. It was almost like the yeast didn’t work as hard as they should…any ideas to what I could be doing wrong?
So I do a very odd setup for my sourdough (3 hour bulk ferment at close to 100°F, with a brief 9 hour cold retard), but if you’ve got a crumb picture I can help you figure out what led to your dough behaving that way.
Looks egg-cellent!
