# 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 and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

→ Toppings

07 - 3 slices thick-cut bacon
08 - 1/2 cup grape tomatoes, finely diced
09 - 1/2 cup finely shredded romaine lettuce
10 - 1 tablespoon chives, finely chopped

# How-To Steps:

01 - Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, cover, remove from heat, and let stand for 10 minutes. Drain and cool eggs under cold running water.
02 - Peel eggs and slice in half lengthwise. Carefully remove yolks and place them in a mixing bowl; reserve whites.
03 - Mash yolks with mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, white wine vinegar, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until smooth and creamy.
04 - Cook bacon slices in a skillet over medium heat until crisp. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate, cool, and crumble.
05 - Spoon or pipe the yolk filling into the egg white halves.
06 - Top each filled egg with shredded romaine lettuce, diced grape tomatoes, crispy bacon crumbles, and chives as desired. Serve immediately or refrigerate until serving.

# Expert Hints:

01 -
  • Each bite packs all the savory, crisp elements of a BLT without needing bread.
  • They’re impossibly quick to make, which means you don’t stress over appetizers.
02 -
  • If you skip cooling the eggs fast enough, peeling becomes a sticky mess.
  • Piping the filling instead of spooning makes for a neater presentation and saves time.
03 -
  • Swirl a hint of smoked paprika into the yolk mixture for gentle smokiness and extra depth.
  • If you use turkey bacon, watch closely as it can dry out much faster than regular bacon.
