Ingredients
Scale
Egg Salad
- 6 large boiled eggs, peeled and chopped
- ½ cup mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt for lighter option)
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- Salt and pepper, to taste
BLT Ingredients
- 4 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, diced
Wrap Base
- 1 head romaine lettuce (or butter lettuce for softer wraps)
Optional Add-Ins
- Avocado slices
- Green onions
- Shredded cheese
Instructions
- Boil Eggs: Cook the eggs in boiling water for 10 minutes until they are hard-boiled. Once done, cool them under cold running water, peel off the shells, and chop them into small pieces.
- Make Egg Salad: In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped eggs with mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and season with salt and pepper. Stir gently until the mixture is creamy and well blended.
- Add BLT Ingredients: Fold the diced cherry tomatoes and crumbled cooked bacon into the egg salad mixture carefully, ensuring even distribution without breaking down the eggs.
- Assemble Wraps: Take individual romaine lettuce leaves, rinse and dry them well. Spoon a generous amount of the egg salad mixture onto each leaf. Add optional avocado slices, green onions, or shredded cheese for extra flavor and texture.
- Serve: Arrange the filled lettuce wraps on a platter or serve them individually. They are best enjoyed immediately to maintain the crispness of the lettuce and freshness of the ingredients.
Notes
- For a lighter option, substitute mayonnaise with Greek yogurt.
- Try using butter lettuce for a softer wrap texture.
- Customize with add-ins like avocado, green onions, or cheese as preferred.
- These wraps are best consumed fresh but can be refrigerated for up to a day; keep lettuce separate until ready to serve to avoid sogginess.
- To save time, use pre-cooked bacon or cooking bacon in advance is recommended.
