[Recipes] BLT Egglets – The Perfect Low-Carb Snack You Can Grab & Go

Hands-On Time: 25 minutes | Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients:

• 6 large eggs
• 2 slices thick-cut bacon, cut into quarters
• 1/4 cup mayonnaise
• 1 Tbsp sliced fresh chives
• 1 tsp hot sauce (such as Cholula)
• 1 tsp red wine vinegar
• Kosher salt, to taste
• Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• 1/2 cup quartered grape tomatoes
• 1/2 cup shredded romaine lettuce

Instructions:

1. Hard-boil the eggs:
2. Place eggs in a large pot and cover with cold water by about 1 inch. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then immediately remove from heat and cover the pot. Let sit for 11 minutes. Prepare a bowl of ice water. Once the eggs are done, drain them and submerge them in the ice water to cool.
3. Cook the bacon:
4. While the eggs are cooling, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the bacon, stirring occasionally, until crisp, about 4 minutes per side. Remove the bacon and place it on a paper towel-lined plate.
5. Prepare the mayonnaise mixture:
6. In a medium bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, chives, hot sauce, and red wine vinegar. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
7. Assemble the egglets:
8. Peel and halve the eggs. Spread the mayonnaise mixture on the cut side of one egg half. Top with tomatoes, lettuce, and bacon, then place the other half of the egg on top. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
