Preparation

Assembly
  1. Take the bottom half of an egg and top it with a piece of lettuce for a refreshing layer.
  2. Add a thin slice of Roma tomato over the lettuce, followed by a quarter of cheddar cheese.
  3. Lay a piece of crisp bacon on top of the cheese to bring in that delicious crunch.
Finish
  1. Squirt a small amount of mustard and add a tiny dollop of mayonnaise on top of the bacon.
  2. Place the egg's top half back on to close the egg bite.
  3. Pierce the assembled egg bite through the center with a toothpick to hold everything together.
  4. Season with salt and freshly cracked black pepper according to your taste.
Serving
  1. Repeat the assembly steps until all your BLT egg bites are assembled. Transfer them to a beautiful serving platter and enjoy!

Notes

These bites are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. For meal prep, store individual components separately to keep them fresh. Avoid freezing toppings to maintain texture.
