Le McBLT
Caroline Armijo
Adding to the BLT: Sandwich of Kings, here is another version inspired by a recent breakfast at McDonalds. I won’t be eating there for a while after seeing Super Size Me again, so this will have to do for a while. It also takes inspiration from the classic French sandwich the Croque Madame; hence the bilingual name. See BLT: Sandwich of Kings for tips on cooking bacon and BLT construction. This recipe uses egg frying rings so as to keep the egg the same size as the muffin. They aren’t necessary but they do make for a neater sandwich.
