Bacon Cheddar Egg Salad Recipes

BACON AND EGG SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• To cook the bacon using the "Mauro Method," line a baking sheet with parchment, overlapping each side 1 to 2 inches. Put the bacon on the parchment and bake until crisp and brown, about 20 minutes. This way, the fat will fry the bacon to a perfect crisp but not come in contact with the metal pan, creating a mess. Drain the bacon on paper towels and let cool. (Once the fat is cooled, use or just toss it. No mess!)
• Crumble the bacon into a bowl. Gently mix in the eggs, mayonnaise, chives, mustard and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper.
• Eat alone, or build sandwiches with avocados and tomatoes on toasted croissants.

CHEDDAR AND BACON PINWHEELS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat until crispy, 5 to 8 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate to drain and allow to cool slightly, then finely chop. Set aside.
• In a small bowl, stir together the cream cheese and scallions. Season with salt and pepper.
• Unfold the pastry sheets on a lightly floured work surface. Lightly roll each piece of pastry into a 10-inch square. Spread the cream cheese mixture over the entire surface of each piece of pastry, leaving a slight border around the edges. Sprinkle the Cheddar and bacon in an even layer over the top of the cream cheese mixture. Tightly roll each pastry sheet into a log (jelly roll style), then pinch the seam closed and place seam-side down on the work surface.
• Using a sharp knife, cut both logs crosswise into 12 pinwheels each, approximately 1 inch thick. Transfer 12 pinwheels to each prepared baking sheet, spiral-side up. In a small bowl, whisk the egg and 1 tablespoon water until combined to make an egg wash. Brush the tops and sides of the pinwheels with the egg wash.
• Bake the pinwheels until puffed and golden, 25 to 30 minutes. Serve warm.

EGG SALAD WITH BACON

Steps:

• Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil, remove from heat, and let eggs stand in hot water for 15 minutes.
• At the same time, place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels.
• Mix bacon, mayonnaise, green onions, dill, lemon juice, Dijon, yellow mustard together in a medium bowl.
• Remove eggs from hot water, cool under cold running water, and peel. Chop eggs into 1/4-inch cubes. Mix into mayonnaise mixture and refrigerate until cold, at least 1 hour. Serve.

BACON, EGG AND CHEESE EGG SALAD

Steps:

• Place eggs in single layer in 2-quart saucepan. Cover with cold water at least 1-inch above eggs. Cover saucepan; heat to boiling.
• Immediately remove from heat; let stand covered 15 minutes (12 minutes for medium and 18 minutes for extra-large).
• Drain. Immediately place eggs in cold water with ice cubes or run cold water over eggs until completely cooled.
• To peel, gently tap egg on countertop until entire shell is finely crackled. Roll gently between hands to loosen shell. Starting at large end, peel egg under cold running water to help remove shell.
• Place eggs in medium bowl. Mash eggs with potato masher until evenly mashed. Stir in cheese, mayonnaise, paprika, salt and pepper. Stir in bacon.
• Spread egg mixture on each of 4 slices bread.(I like 12-grain). Top with remaining bread.

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Remove plastic wrap from dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Let casserole stand for 5 minutes before serving.
