🥓 Ingredients

The simplicity of this recipe truly shines as it utilises wholesome ingredients, making it a brilliant choice for those seeking a deliciously easy meal. Given that you likely already possess these items at your residence. Here’s what’s in it:

• While I enjoy the runny texture of jammy eggs myself, it’s not uncommon for others to prefer their yolks cooked until they’re firm and crumbly, like in traditional hard-boiled eggs.
• It’s not uncommon to discover that a small amount of sugar is often added to the curing process of bacon? However, bacon typically contains a small amount of natural sugars found in the pork itself?
• Are you surprised to learn that another item on your shopping list might have sneaky sugar added to it? Explore artisanal mayonnaise options made with avocado oil and no added sugar, such as Chosen Foods, or create your own bespoke recipe.
• or substitute yellow mustard.
• Green Onions and Parsley

Variations

• Replace the traditional mayonnaise with a creamy smashed avocado to elevate the flavor profile and add a nutritious twist.
• Add 1 tsp. minced fresh dill.
• For an added depth of flavor and a satisfying crunch, consider incorporating 1 tablespoon each of finely chopped red onion, celery, or dill pickles into your recipe.

What makes this recipe truly special is the harmonious balance between the softness of the boiled eggs, the zestiness of the Dijon mustard, the tanginess of the relish, and the subtle nuttiness of the chopped almonds.

Before embarking on an egg fast, consider seeking out a reliable recipe and thoroughly understanding the protocol’s guidelines to ensure a successful experience? 

• Combine one tablespoon of rich, full-fat mayonnaise with a single, finely chopped hard-boiled egg for a creamy and indulgent accompaniment. Savor this dish by seasoning it delicately with a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper, then indulge in its flavors.

🔪 Instructions

Prepare perfectly cooked hard-boiled eggs with ease. To perfectly hard-boil eggs, place them gently into a saucepan and ensure they are completely submerged in cold water. Heat the water to a gentle roar, situated just above a simmer and below a lively churn, and allow it to cook undisturbed for approximately eight to ten minutes.

Carefully remove the eggs from the simmering water using a slotted spoon and promptly transfer them to an ice bath, halting the cooking process instantly.

After cooling, carefully remove the shells from the eggs and then finely chop them. While I prefer my eggs chopped into slightly larger pieces to savour the texture, many individuals opt for a finer dice. The way you slice your eggs is entirely a matter of personal preference.

Next, do the prep work. Chop the parsley and scallions finely to desired texture. Dice the cooked bacon. Reserving half of the thoroughly cooked bacon, set it to one side.

Combine all ingredients excluding the reserved bacon in a substantial mixing vessel. Mix well until fully combined.

Savor a subtle flavor by sprinkling a pinch of salt and pepper as desired. If your bacon has a pronounced salty flavor, you might not require additional seasoning. Savor each bite of the delectable egg salad, expertly garnished with the crispy, savory reserved bacon.
