Egg BLT Sliders

Ingredients

• 1 12- count carton large eggs
• 6 strips bacon
• 8 cherry tomatoes
• 1 head green leaf lettuce
• 2 Tablespoons mayonnaise optional
• Coarse salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste
• 12 toothpicks or bamboo skewers

Instructions

1. 1

   To hard-boil eggs: Place eggs in a medium saucepot. Cover with cold water. Set to medium heat and bring to a boil. Turn off heat, keeping the pan on the hot burner. Cover and let sit for 10-12 minutes. Rinse eggs with cold water and peel shell.

2. 2

   To cook bacon: In a large skillet to set medium-low, cook bacon until crisp, about 5-6 minutes. Drain on paper towels; set aside.

3. 3

   Cut each hard-boiled egg in half. Cut a tiny bit off the bottom of one half, so it will stand up - only do this to 6 eggs, so that your top half is not cut.

4. 4

   Spread a bit of mayonnaise on top of the bottom egg half. Top with a piece of bacon, lettuce, tomatoes, and another piece of bacon. Cover with its egg top. Secure with a toothpick or bamboo skewer.

5. 5

   Sprinkle with salt and pepper.

   Serve and enjoy!
