Bacon Egg Salad Bites Recipes

BACON & CHEESE EGG BITES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 24-cup mini muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs until smooth. Add the salt, milk, 1 cup cheese and bacon bits and mix until well combined.
• Spoon the mixture into the mini muffin cups, filling each one 2/3 full. Sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup cheese evenly over filled muffin cups.
• Bake for 23-25 minutes or until the tops and edges start to turn golden. Let set in pan 5 minutes before gently lifting each one out with a table knife.

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 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.

IMPOSSIBLY EASY BACON, EGG AND TOT BAKE (WITH MAKE-AHEAD DIRECTIONS)

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F. Spray 13x9-inch (3-quart) baking dish with cooking spray.
• In large bowl, stir Bisquick mix, milk, pepper and eggs until blended; pour into baking dish, and top with half of the bacon.
• Place frozen potato nuggets in single layer on ungreased large cookie sheet with sides. Place both the baking dish and cookie sheet in oven. Bake 20 minutes.
• Place potato nuggets evenly on top of Bisquick bake; top with cheese and remaining bacon. Bake 10 to 15 minutes longer or until knife inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 5 minutes. Top with green onion. Serve with ketchup.
• Make-Ahead Directions: Make Bisquick bake as directed through step 2. Cover and refrigerate up to 12 hours. Uncover, and continue as directed in step 3.

EGG AND BACON SALAD

Steps:

• Put the eggs into a saucepan of water, over medium heat. Bring to boil, and cook for 1 minute, then turn off the heat and let the eggs sit in the pan for 10 minutes.
• Transfer the eggs to a bowl of cold water and let cool. Peel the eggs once they feel cool to the touch.
• Cook's Note: I cook my eggs this way, as I love the yolks to be only just or rather almost hard-boiled, with the memory of oozy goldenness still evident at the centre; it also keeps the white amazingly silky. If, however you prefer a proper, good and bouncy reassuringly hard-boiled egg, cooked until the yolks are powdery and compact, keep the heat on under the pan for 10 minutes. The same applies, if you're making this for anyone with a compromised immune system, such as the old and frail, very young or pregnant women.
• Meanwhile, tear the salad leaves into bite-sized pieces and drop them into a serving bowl.
• Heat the garlic oil in a small frying pan, over medium heat and fry the lardons or bacon until crisp, about 5 minutes or so. Transfer the lardons or bacon with a slotted spatula to some paper towels to drain, while you make the dressing.
• Add the Dijon mustard to the bacon juices in the pan and whisk to combine, then add the vinegar and a dash of Worcestershire sauce. Whisk again, then pour it over the salad leaves, tossing to mix.
• Add the lardons and toss again, then quarter the eggs and add them along with the chopped parsley. Gently mix to combine, trying not to break up the eggs.
• Make Ahead Note:
• The hard-boiled eggs can be made up 4 days ahead. Cool, leave the shells and store in an air tight container in the refrigerator. Remove the shells just before serving.

DEVILED EGG BACON BITES

Steps:

• Put 4 thick-cut bacon slices on a rack set on a baking sheet. Place in a cold oven, set the temperature to 400˚ F and bake 35 to 40 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through. Let cool, then cut each slice into 6 pieces.
• Combine 3 tablespoons mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon yellow mustard, 2 teaspoons relish, 1 teaspoon celery salt, a few dashes of hot sauce and a pinch of pepper in a food processor. Add 2 chopped hard-boiled eggs; puree. Transfer to a piping bag with a star tip.
• Pipe the egg mixture onto each bacon piece and top with paprika and chopped chives.
