This isn't the typical egg salad recipe. It is a phenomenal one with the perfect combination of bacon and eggs and some Cheddar cheese to boot! Serve as a dip with crackers or on sandwiches.
6 eggs, hard boiled
4 slices bacon, fried crisply
1/2 c. mayonnaise
1 T. mustard
1 t. vinegar
1 t. dried parsley flakes
1/2 t. salt, optional
1/2 t. pepper
1/4 c. grated Cheddar cheese
Add the eggs to a medium sized pot; fill with water to 1 inch above the eggs; bring water to a boil over medium heat. Remove from heat; cover; let sit for 15 minutes.
Run the eggs under cold water or place eggs in an ice bath until cold.
While eggs are cooking and cooling, fry the bacon until crisp; drain on a paper towel lined plate; chop into bite sized pieces; set aside.
Peel the eggs; mash finely. Add mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, parsley and pepper; stir to combine. Stir in bacon and Cheddar cheese. Taste and salt, if necessary.
Serve as a dip with crackers or on bread as a sandwich.
Makes 3-4 sandwiches.
