My BF, Shawn, conceptualized this sandwich about 6 months ago. I've since perfected it with lots of practice. What goes into a BEALT? Bacon, egg, avocado, lettuce and tomato. We've since added horseradish, making it the BEALTH, I guess...which doesn't sound as good. Here's what goes into this: very lightly toasted bread (Shawn is a stickler for light toasting--no crunchy, hard bread here), mayonnaise on both sides (I use Best Foods), and a layer of creamy horseradish. Mash up a quarter of an avocado and spread that on. Then it's lettuce, thinly sliced ripe tomato slices, 3-4 pieces of crispy bacon, and the grand finale, a perfectly cooked egg over easy. I find that the secret to the egg is to turn it and let it cook for just a few seconds on the yolk side. You want the yolk to run, but not sprint.
