Breakfast Egg Salad with Bacon
Description
This Breakfast Egg Salad with Bacon features chopped, peeled hard boiled eggs combined with mayonnaise and Greek yogurt for creaminess, along with Dijon mustard for a mild tang. Crispy cooked bacon and finely chopped red onion add smoky and sharp flavors, while fresh chives bring a subtle herbaceous note. The mixture is seasoned with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Typically served over toasted whole-grain bread, the salad offers a satisfying texture contrast between the soft egg salad and the crisp toast. Additional toppings like arugula leaves or fresh tomato slices can be added for freshness and color.
This egg salad can be prepared ahead and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for a day or two without losing quality. It makes a filling breakfast or snack with balanced flavors from the rich eggs and bacon and the zing of mustard and onion.
