What do you get when you combine two of your favorite breakfast foods? An Egg-in-a-Hole BLT, of course! This breakfast sandwich is perfect for those mornings when you want something a little heartier than just toast and eggs.
The bacon and tomato add a delicious savory flavor, while the mayonnaise and lettuce hint creaminess and freshness. Plus, it's easy to make! Simply butter two slices of bread, make a hole in the center of each slice, and fry an egg in the hole. Then just add your bacon, lettuce, and tomato.

- 4 Bacon slices
- 2 Everything bagels, divided

Directions
- Cut a hole in one slice of bread with a small glass or biscuit cutter.
Return the skillet to medium heat, add the butter, and let it melt.
