BLT Egg Salad Sammies - Whole30, Paleo
These BLT Egg Salad Sammies make for a quick and easy breakfast. Prepare the egg salad ahead of time so that you can put everything together in a few minutes.
Servings: 6 individual servings
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs preferably free-range, organic
- 3 rashers sugar-free bacon cooked until crispy and finely chopped - some reserved for garnish (in the Toronto area: check WholeFoods, Ambrosia, Organic Garage)
- 1 celery stalk finely chopped
- 1/4 cup red onion finely chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley leaves finely chopped
- 1/3 cup or more compliant mayo
- kosher salt and freshly-cracked black pepper to taste
- cherry tomatoes sliced in half for garnish
- 1 heart romaine lettuce for serving
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Use a slotted spoon to gently submerge eggs. Boil exactly 11minutes. Transfer eggs to ice bath for 3-4 minutes to stop cooking. Peel eggs under water to help release from shell.
- Add eggs to a mixing bowl and smash with a fork (you can also chop with a knife or use a cheese grater - watch your knuckles).
- Add cooked bacon, celery, onion, parsley, mayo. Stir to combine. Taste and adjust salt and pepper as required.
- Spoon egg salad onto romaine, top with reserved bacon bits and tomato.
- Serve to unsuspecting guests that you have invited over for BLT’s. Watch as their jaws drop
