E.L.T.

Think of this like a BLT minus the splattering bacon grease. With each bite you get that ideal combo of ingredients—sweet tomato, rich egg, crisp iceberg lettuce. You just need to get every element right. A nine-minute egg (so its center is just a touch tender), the ripest heirloom or beefsteak, basic iceberg, plenty of mayo, and the squishiest white bread you can find (griddled for extra credit). Oh, and don't forget plenty of salt and pepper on the egg and the tomato.
