Creamy eggs paired with bacon, tomato, and lettuce for a savory, eye-catching starter.

# What You Need:

→ Eggs

01 - 6 large eggs

→ Filling

02 - 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
03 - 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
04 - 1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
05 - 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
06 - Salt, to taste
07 - Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

→ Toppings

08 - 3 slices thick-cut bacon
09 - 1/2 cup grape tomatoes, finely diced
10 - 1/2 cup romaine lettuce, finely shredded
11 - 1 tablespoon chives, finely chopped (optional)

# Step-by-Step Guide:

01 - Place eggs in a saucepan and add enough cold water to cover them. Bring water to a boil over medium-high heat, then cover, remove from heat, and let stand for 10 minutes. Drain eggs and cool under cold running water.
02 - Peel eggs carefully. Slice eggs lengthwise and remove yolks, placing yolks in a mixing bowl. Set egg whites aside on a platter.
03 - Mash yolks with mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, white wine vinegar, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until mixture is very smooth and creamy.
04 - Cook bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to cool. Once cooled, crumble bacon into small pieces.
05 - Spoon or pipe the creamy yolk filling into egg white halves, filling each cavity generously.
06 - Top each filled egg with shredded romaine lettuce, diced grape tomatoes, bacon crumbles, and chives if desired.
07 - Serve immediately or refrigerate eggs until ready. Arrange on lettuce-lined platter for presentation if desired.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • You get mini bites of a BLT—without needing bread—so it's lighter but just as satisfying.
  • The bacon crumbles add a crunch that turns every egg into a conversation starter.
02 -
  • Peeling eggs too soon makes the whites tear, so patience really pays off here.
  • Switching to thick-cut bacon after the first attempt gave me a crunch that never flops soggy.
03 -
  • Never skip chilling the eggs before peeling—they’ll come out smooth every time.
  • Warming the bacon until just crisp (not burnt) makes every bite a delight.
