BELTCH Breakfast Sandwich Recipe

Are you wondering what a BELTCH breakfast sandwich is?  Well, it’s simple, a beltch is a bacon, egg, lettuce, cheese, and hot sauce sandwich and is a great for breakfast, lunch or dinner!

A BELTCH breakfast sandwich is made up of a few simple ingredients:

• Bacon
• Eggs
• Lettuce
• Cheese
• Hot Sauce

The name is funny, but the sandwich is serious.   Nick and I actually saw the name ‘Beltch’ on a menu  last year and it stood out to me.  It’s a funny name, so it was memorable, I’m not even sure if how I make this breakfast sandwich is how it’s supposed to be made, but I loved the acronym was funny.

This isn’t your average flimsy breakfast sandwich; it’s hearty.  I mentioned it above, but we enjoy it for any meal of the day.  It’s actually a great last minute dinner when you have nothing else planned!

At the start of the week, I just make a big batch bacon so we have it on hand whenever we want to throw this sandwich together.  I like to bake my bacon in the oven.  A few simple steps on how to cook bacon in the oven:

• Place bacon on a cold cookie sheet, put in the oven and then set the temperature to 375
• Let bacon cook for 20 minutes or until brown and crispy to your liking
• You could also microwave your bacon between paper towels until it’s done (only 3-5 minutes)

For the egg, I like to pan fry it over easy.  I just heat 1 tsp. of butter of medium heat and drop the egg in!  Once you have your egg and bacon done, it’s time to pile it high!

If pan-frying isn’t your style, these sandwiches would also be super good with a pickled egg.

• Traditional hot sauce: Burman’s
• Smoky hot sauce: Siete
• Buffalo hot sauce: Frank’s

• BLT pizza recipe
• Hot cheesy BLT dip
