Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- To cook the bacon using the "Mauro Method," line a baking sheet with parchment, overlapping each side 1 to 2 inches. Put the bacon on the parchment and bake until crisp and brown, about 20 minutes. This way, the fat will fry the bacon to a perfect crisp but not come in contact with the metal pan, creating a mess. Drain the bacon on paper towels and let cool. (Once the fat is cooled, use or just toss it. No mess!)
- Crumble the bacon into a bowl. Gently mix in the eggs, mayonnaise, chives, mustard and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper.
- Eat alone, or build sandwiches with avocados and tomatoes on toasted croissants.
EGG SALAD AND BACON SANDWICH
On days I don't have much time to cook, egg salad on croissants hits the spot. It's also nice made with toasted bread or English muffins. Our family loves egg dishes of any kind. Luckily, my mom owns 30 chickens and keeps me supplied with farm-fresh ingredients.

Steps:
- Place potatoes in a large pot and pour in cold water to cover by 2". Add 2 Tbsp. salt and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are just tender, about 15 minutes. Drain, then let cool slightly (the potatoes should be warm when you dress them, which will help them soak up the dressing).
- Meanwhile, cook eggs in a large saucepan of boiling water 8 minutes (whites and yolks will be set). Drain; transfer to a bowl of ice water and let cool. Drain, peel, and quarter eggs.
- Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium heat, turning halfway through, until brown and crisp, 8-10 minutes. Transfer bacon to paper towels to drain and let cool slightly. Tear into 1" pieces. Reserve 2 Tbsp. bacon fat in pan.
- Whisk mayonnaise, sour cream, relish, mustard, garlic powder, pepper, and remaining 1/2 tsp. salt in a large bowl. Add potatoes, eggs, tomatoes, olives, half of bacon, and reserved bacon fat and fold gently until combined and completely coated. Transfer salad to a platter and top with remaining bacon.

'FANCY' EGG SALAD
This recipe dresses up basic egg salad with parsley, capers, shallots and bacon. The writer, David Latt, cooks his eggs on a low, gentle boil for 30 minutes and finds they come out perfectly done, with the yolk flaky, but feel free to use whatever method you like, as long as the eggs are hard-boiled. (We give instructions for boiling and steaming in our guide to cooking eggs.) You can also add other spices: mustard, ground mustard seed, cumin or rosemary. The parsley can be replaced with cilantro, and the mayonnaise can be flavored.

EGG SALAD WITH BACON AND OLIVES
This is my favorite way to make egg salad. It sort of evolved over the years and it can be eaten on its own, served over salad or stuffed into whole wheat pita. Any way you serve it tastes great.

EGG AND BACON SALAD

Steps:
- Put the eggs into a saucepan of water, over medium heat. Bring to boil, and cook for 1 minute, then turn off the heat and let the eggs sit in the pan for 10 minutes.
- Transfer the eggs to a bowl of cold water and let cool. Peel the eggs once they feel cool to the touch.
- Cook's Note: I cook my eggs this way, as I love the yolks to be only just or rather almost hard-boiled, with the memory of oozy goldenness still evident at the centre; it also keeps the white amazingly silky. If, however you prefer a proper, good and bouncy reassuringly hard-boiled egg, cooked until the yolks are powdery and compact, keep the heat on under the pan for 10 minutes. The same applies, if you're making this for anyone with a compromised immune system, such as the old and frail, very young or pregnant women.
- Meanwhile, tear the salad leaves into bite-sized pieces and drop them into a serving bowl.
- Heat the garlic oil in a small frying pan, over medium heat and fry the lardons or bacon until crisp, about 5 minutes or so. Transfer the lardons or bacon with a slotted spatula to some paper towels to drain, while you make the dressing.
- Add the Dijon mustard to the bacon juices in the pan and whisk to combine, then add the vinegar and a dash of Worcestershire sauce. Whisk again, then pour it over the salad leaves, tossing to mix.
- Add the lardons and toss again, then quarter the eggs and add them along with the chopped parsley. Gently mix to combine, trying not to break up the eggs.
- Make Ahead Note:
- The hard-boiled eggs can be made up 4 days ahead. Cool, leave the shells and store in an air tight container in the refrigerator. Remove the shells just before serving.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients. This means using fresh eggs, good mayonnaise, and flavorful bacon and olives. If you use quality ingredients, your egg salad will be that much better.
- Don't overcook the eggs. Overcooked eggs will be tough and rubbery. Cook them just until they are set, about 10 minutes.
- Chop the eggs finely. This will help the egg salad to be smooth and creamy.
- Use a good mayonnaise. Mayonnaise is the base of egg salad, so it's important to use a good one. Look for a mayonnaise that is made with fresh eggs and oil.
- Add some flavor. This could be anything from chopped celery or onion to crumbled bacon or grated cheese. Get creative and experiment with different flavors until you find one that you love.
Conclusion:
Egg salad is a classic dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It's a quick and easy meal to make, and it's also very versatile. You can serve it on a sandwich, in a wrap, or on top of a salad. No matter how you serve it, egg salad is sure to be a hit.
