Ready to make Egg BLT Sliders? Follow these streamlined steps:
- Hard‑boil the eggs: Place the eggs in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Turn off the heat, leave the pan on the hot burner, cover, and let sit 10–12 minutes. Rinse with cold water and peel.
- Cook the bacon: In a large skillet over medium-low heat, cook bacon until crisp, about 5–6 minutes. Drain on paper towels and set aside.
- Cut each hard‑boiled egg in half. Trim a small amount from the bottom of six of the halves so they sit flat (leave the other halves intact to become the tops).
- Spread a little mayonnaise on the flat surface of the bottom egg half (or use your preferred spread). Layer with a piece of bacon, a small piece of lettuce, a slice of tomato, and another piece of bacon. Place the egg top on and secure with a toothpick or bamboo skewer.
- Season with coarse salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste.
- Serve immediately and enjoy.
Here are a few quick tips and substitutions to customize your sliders:
- Shortcut: Use pre-cooked hard‑boiled eggs from the grocery store to save time.
- Swap the mayo: If you don’t like mayonnaise, substitute ranch, mustard, aioli, or any spread you prefer.
- Tomato and lettuce options: If you don’t have cherry tomatoes, a thin slice of Roma tomato works well. Any lettuce variety can be used.
- Pre-cooked bacon: Pre-cooked bacon from the store is a convenient option. For extra flavor, sprinkle with Everything Bagel seasoning.
- Serving suggestions: Serve with a big green salad and extra protein such as grilled chicken, steak, or fish for a more substantial meal. For an easy side, offer pickles, fries, or chips.
- Make‑ahead: Assemble up to 1–3 hours before serving. Avoid making them the night before, as the lettuce and tomato can wilt. You can, however, cook eggs and bacon ahead of time and assemble later.
