Keto BLT Egg Salad Boats

These quick & simple to make, but very tasty, Keto BLT Egg Salad Boats make an excellent low carb, paleo lunch, breakfast or snack.

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.
