Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by hard boiling your eggs. Place eggs in a pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then cover, remove from heat, and let them sit for 9-12 minutes. Once done, transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water for about 5 minutes to halt the cooking process, then peel them carefully.
  2. Once the hard boiled eggs have cooled and been peeled, use a sharp knife to slice each egg in half lengthwise. Gently remove the yolk if desired; alternatively, keep it for extra creaminess. Place the bottom halves on a serving platter, cut side facing up, ready for assembly.
  3. On each halved egg, start layering by placing a small piece of fresh lettuce to create a crunchy base. Follow with a thin slice of juicy Roma tomato, then add a quarter slice of cheddar cheese. For the finishing touch, top with a piece of crispy bacon, the heart of these delicious Hard Boiled Egg BLT Bites.
  4. Next, enhance your bites by adding a dollop of mayonnaise and a squirt of mustard atop the bacon for rich creaminess and tangy flavor. Use just enough to complement the savory notes without overpowering the fresh ingredients. This combination truly captures the essence of a BLT in every bite.
  5. Carefully place the top halves of the eggs back onto the assembled base. Press down gently to secure the layers, making sure not to squish out the fillings. For a neat presentation and stability, pierce the center with a toothpick to hold each Hard Boiled Egg BLT Bite together.
  6. Season each assembled bite with a pinch of salt and freshly cracked black pepper to enhance the flavors. Arrange your completed bites on a serving platter. They can be served immediately for a delightful snack or appetizer, perfect for gatherings or personal cravings.
  7. If you prefer to make these bites ahead of time, you can assemble them and store in an airtight container in the fridge. Enjoy them within two days for the best flavor and freshness, making these Hard Boiled Egg BLT Bites a convenient, low-carb treat whenever you desire.

Notes

Ensure you hard boil eggs correctly by timing them—9-12 minutes is ideal to achieve a creamy yolk without overcooking. Use fresh and high-quality ingredients, especially the lettuce and tomatoes, to enhance flavors. Avoid overloading the bites; it helps maintain their structure and makes them easier to eat. Allow the hard-boiled eggs to cool completely before assembly to keep the other ingredients crispy and fresh.
