Need a quick and easy meal? This Low FODMAP BLT with Egg is your ticket! Delicious and gluten-free, this sandwich recipe is one of my go-to’s: breakfast, lunch or dinner!
Look that yolk, tho! Nom, nom, nom!
I think the yolk makes this BLT, but if you’re not a runny egg fan *gasp* (just kidding, I still love ya!) you can totally omit it for a delicious and gluten-free Low FODMAP BLT.
P.S. By chance BLT is not a household acronym, it stands for: Bacon. Lettuce. Tomato. 🙂

Low FODMAP notes
In this section, I share information for certain ingredients that are either frequently asked about or that have suggested serving sizes to remain low FODMAP. We each have unique tolerance levels and nutritional needs. Please listen to your body (and if possible, work with a FODMAP-trained dietitian) to determine what is best for you. For more low FODMAP serving size info, please refer to the Monash FODMAP app and FODMAP Friendly website or app.
Common tomatoes (fresh) are a FODMAP-free food. 3/2022 Update: Monash University retested common tomatoes and found them to contain FODMAPs. A low FODMAP serving of common tomatoes is now considered to be ½ a tomato or 65 grams. Larger servings contain higher levels of excess fructose.
Garlic-infused oil is a popular way to add low FODMAP garlic flavor on the low FODMAP diet. My current favorite is Colavita Roasted Garlic Olive Oil (technically a garlic-flavored oil) that has been confirmed to be low FODMAP by Monash University. Learn more about why garlic-infused oil is okay in my Low FODMAP Garlic and Onion Substitutes post.
Lettuce: Iceberg, butter, and red coral lettuce contain only trace amounts of FODMAPs. Enjoy according to your appetite. Romaine is also low FODMAP – the recommended serving is up to 2 cups or 75 grams.
Low FODMAP bread options can vary greatly depending on where you live. My personal favorite is Schär Deli Style Seeded Bread (a Monash low-FODMAP certified option in the US). For more options, check out my low FODMAP bread post.
Mayonnaise is low FODMAP in servings of 2 tablespoons or 40 grams. Double-check ingredients and choose products without high FODMAP ingredients like onion or garlic.
