Bacon Egg Salad- egg salad tastes even better with lots of crispy, salty bacon added. Makes a great sandwich spread for a summer lunch.

Sure you can add a couple of slices of bacon to an egg salad sandwich. But it tastes even better when the bacon is chopped up and there’s some in every bite.

How To Make Bacon Egg Salad

To make this Egg Salad, you’ll start by hard-boiling some eggs. My favorite method for hard-boiling eggs is to put them in a large pot and cover them with about 2 inches of water. (That’s 2 inches of water on top of the eggs.) Place the pot on a burner and bring the water to a boil. As soon as the water comes to a rolling boil, cover the pot and turn the heat off. Let the eggs sit for about 12 minutes. Then drain them and run cold water over them until they cool down.

Older eggs are usually easier to peel than fresher eggs.
