    This recipe has all the yummy taste of a BLT but without the bread and all the carbs. The addition of egg salad makes this also a very filling and satisfying meal with healthy fats and protein.

    I used romaine lettuce cups, but I've also used butter lettuce cups and just placed a scoop of it onto a salad or spinach leaves.

    You can buy the eggs pre-boiled at the store for ease and convenience or boil the eggs yourself on the stovetop, or use my Instant Pot method of hard-boiling eggs included in the directions.

     I always cook the bacon in advance in the oven at 400 ℉ for about 20 minutes, or until crisp. Then I crumble it and keep in a zippered bag in the fridge and ready for adding to recipes & salads.

      Easy to make, tasty, refreshing. Made these for dinner - we all loved them. I chopped the bacon and added it directly to the egg salad.

      What a great idea! And the Instant Pot is definitely the best way to make hard-boiled eggs.
