Cuisine: American
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 4 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
- 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 2 green onions, sliced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 slices of bread
Instructions
- Begin by preparing the hard-boiled eggs. If you haven't already boiled them, place the eggs in a saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, cover the saucepan and remove it from heat. Let the eggs sit for about 12 minutes, then transfer them to an ice bath to cool. Once cooled, peel the eggs and chop them into small pieces.
- While the eggs are boiling, cook the bacon. In a skillet over medium heat, add the bacon slices. Cook until crispy, turning occasionally, which should take about 8-10 minutes. Once cooked, remove the bacon from the skillet and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into small pieces.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped hard-boiled eggs, crumbled bacon, mayonnaise, and sliced green onions. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients without mashing the eggs too much.
- Season the egg salad mixture with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust the seasoning according to your preference.
- Toast the slices of bread if desired, to add a nice crunch to your sandwich.
- To assemble the sandwich, place a generous amount of the bacon and green onion egg salad mixture onto two slices of bread. Top with the remaining slices of bread to complete the sandwiches.
- Cut the sandwiches in half if desired, and serve immediately. Enjoy your Bacon and Green Onion Egg Salad Sandwich!
Tips
- For perfectly cooked eggs, use the ice bath method to stop the cooking process and prevent that dreaded green ring around the yolk.
- Cook bacon until it's extra crispy to add maximum crunch and flavor to your egg salad.
- Don't overmix the egg salad—gently fold ingredients to keep the egg texture intact.
- Toast your bread for added texture and to prevent the sandwich from becoming soggy.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a dash of Dijon mustard or a sprinkle of paprika to your egg salad mixture.
- Use fresh, high-quality mayonnaise for the best taste and creamiest texture.
- Prepare ingredients in advance and assemble just before serving to maintain optimal sandwich freshness.
