Ingredients

  • 8 large eggs
  • 4 strips of bacon (cooked crisp and chopped/crumbled)
  • 1 medium tomato, sliced into thin small wedges or rounds
  • 1/4 cup lettuce (shredded or small crisp leaves)
  • 2-3 tablespoons mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt for a lighter option)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Toothpicks or small skewers (for assembly)

Instructions (Step-by-Step)

  1. Boil the Eggs: Place the eggs in a medium saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, remove from heat, cover, and let sit for 10-12 minutes for hard-boiled eggs.
  2. Cool and Peel: Transfer the eggs immediately to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Once cooled, gently peel the shells off.
  3. Slice the Eggs: Cut each hard-boiled egg carefully in half lengthwise. (Optional: slice a tiny sliver off the bottom rounded edge of each half so they sit flat like little buns).
  4. Prep the Fillings: Cook your bacon slices until crispy, then crumble or cut them into small pieces. Slice your tomatoes into thin, bite-sized pieces and wash/dry your lettuce leaves.
  5. Assemble the Bites: Lay out the bottom egg halves. Spread a tiny dot of mayonnaise on each bottom half. Add a small piece of lettuce, a slice of tomato, and a sprinkle of crispy bacon bits.
  6. Secure and Serve: Place the top half of the egg over the fillings. Season lightly with salt and black pepper on top. Insert a toothpick or small decorative skewer right through the center to hold the BLT bite together. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Chef's Notes:

For a tangier spread, mix a tiny pinch of garlic powder or Dijon mustard into your mayonnaise before assembling.
