Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Large eggs
- 4 slices Bacon
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 0.25 cup Black olives (pitted and chopped)
- 2 stalks Green onions (chopped)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Place the eggs in a medium-sized pot and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and let the eggs simmer for 10 minutes.
While the eggs cook, cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Once cooled, chop the bacon into small pieces.
Once the eggs are done, transfer them to a bowl of ice water to cool for about 5 minutes. Peel the eggs and chop them into bite-sized pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
Add the chopped eggs, bacon, black olives, and green onions to the bowl. Gently fold the ingredients together until evenly coated in the dressing.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed.
Chill the egg salad in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve the egg salad on its own, as a sandwich filling, or with crackers for a delicious appetizer.
