Instructions
Creating Bacon Egg Salad Lettuce Wraps is simple if you follow these steps:
1. Boil the Eggs: Place the eggs in a pot and cover them with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer for 10-12 minutes. After cooking, transfer the eggs to an ice bath to cool.
2. Cook the Bacon: In a skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove from the skillet and place on paper towels to drain excess fat. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into small pieces.
3. Prepare the Salad Base: Peel and chop the cooled eggs into small pieces. In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped eggs, crumbled bacon, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, chives, salt, and pepper. Mix well until combined.
4. Assemble the Wraps: Take a lettuce leaf and spoon a generous amount of the egg salad mixture onto the center of the leaf.
5. Wrap and Serve: Fold the sides of the lettuce leaf over the filling, creating a wrap. Repeat with the remaining leaves and filling.
6. Optional: If desired, add diced celery or red onion for extra crunch and flavor.
