1410. OVER EASY BLT

yields 2 servings


4 slices of bacon
2 large eggs
salt and black pepper, to taste
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon chili sauce
4 slices rye bread, lightly toasted
2 slices ripe tomato
1 cup baby arugula

Cook the bacon over medium heat in a nonstick skillet until golden brown and crisp, about 5 minutes on the first side and 2 minutes on the second side. Drain on a paper towel.

Slide eggs into the skillet (with drippings) and fry until the white is set but the yolk is still soft, about 2 minutes. Carefully turn eggs over; cook 1 minute longer. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat.

Stir mayonnaise and chili sauce together. Spread the mixture on each slice of toast. Lay 2 slices of bacon over the mayonnaise on 2 slices of toast. Top each with a tomato slice, a fried egg, and the arugula. Cover with a second slice of toast. Cut in half and serve immediately.
