World's Greatest Sandwich from Spanglish (BLT with Fried Egg and Cheese)
Report
The World’s Greatest Sandwich aka the Spanglish Sandwich was created by Thomas Keller but served up by Adam Sandler on the big screen. It’s the ultimate crossbreed of a BLT, grilled cheese, and breakfast sandwich in one!

Instructions
- Cook the bacon until crisp, drain on paper towels and set aside.
- Place the slices of cheese on one slice of the toasted bread and place in a toaster oven or under a broiler to melt the cheese.
- Spread the other slice of toast with the mayonnaise, top with the cooked bacon, the sliced tomato, and the lettuce.
- In a nonstick skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Fry the egg, turning over briefly when the bottom is set (keep the yolk runny!). Alternatively rather than flipping it, put a lid on the pan and let the top of the egg gently cook with its own steam. There’s less of a chance to break the yolk, and the egg still turns out perfect.
- Slide the finished egg on top of the lettuce. Top with the other slice of toast, melted cheese side down. Place the sandwich on a plate and slice in half, letting the yolk run down the sandwich.
Notes
- There are many ways to cook bacon, but this is how I prefer to do it. Add the bacon to a cold frying pan and turn on the heat to medium heat. You can even cover it at this point to avoid potential splatter. Cook until the fat renders, flipping over once the bottom is nicely browned and continuing to cook the other side until browned and crispy. Remove with tongs and drain on a paper towel-lined plate. The bacon will get crispier once it starts to cool.
- You can 100% swap out ingredients for others you may have on hand or ones you prefer. I think the concept is that this is the World’s Best Sandwich, but that might be different in your eyes if you prefer a different type of bread or cheese for example. If you want to replicate the idealized Spanglish sandwich, then use the ingredients as they are written.
- Recipe created by Thomas Keller and made famous by Adam Sandler's character in the film Spanglish.
- Fun fact: Thomas Keller is the same chef responsible for creating Remy’s Ratatouille recipe!
