Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Place the eggs in a medium-sized saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, lower the heat and simmer for about 10 minutes.
- Remove the eggs from the hot water and transfer them to a bowl filled with ice water to cool. Once cooled, peel the eggs and chop them into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
- While the eggs are boiling, preheat a large frying pan over medium heat.
- Add the bacon strips to the pan and cook until crispy, turning them occasionally for even cooking, about 6-8 minutes.
- Transfer the bacon strips to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease. Once cooled, crumble or chop the bacon into small pieces. Set aside.
- Peel and finely chop the onion. You can either sauté the onion in the bacon drippings left in the frying pan until it becomes translucent and slightly caramelized, or you can use it raw for a sharper taste. Set the prepared onion aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped eggs, crumbled bacon, and finely chopped onion.
- Add the lemon zest and mayonnaise. Stir everything together until well mixed. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Slice the baguettes lengthwise, but don't cut all the way through, leaving one side still connected, like a hinge. You can toast the baguettes lightly if desired for extra crunch.
- Evenly distribute the arugula among the baguettes, placing it on the bottom half of the bread.
- Spoon the bacon and egg salad mixture generously over the arugula.
- Close the baguettes and press gently to secure the filling.
- Cut the baguettes into desired serving sizes. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Bacon and Egg Salad Baguettes!
Tips:
- For a healthier alternative, you can use turkey bacon instead of regular bacon.
- To add a bit of spice, consider mixing some hot sauce or mustard into the mayonnaise.
- For a more rustic presentation, lightly toast the baguettes before assembling the sandwiches.
- Make sure to cook the eggs a bit softer if you prefer a creamier texture in your filling.
- Add some freshly cracked black pepper or a sprinkle of paprika to the salad for an extra layer of flavor.
