Bacon 'n' Egg Salad Sandwiches

[fuzzyred]

Since I'm on afternoons this week, I decided to make Bacon 'n' Egg Salad Sandwiches from the Tasteofhome Contest Winning Annual Recipes 2010 cookbook.


Ingredients
4 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup sour cream
1/3 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons minced chives
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
10 hard-cooked eggs, chopped
8 lettuce leaves
8 croissants, split

In a large bowl, combine the first seven ingredients. Add the eggs and mix well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Serve on lettuce-lined croissants. Yield: 8 servings.


Modifications and thoughts
I used 5 pieces of bacon instead of 4, because bacon, and I didn't put lettuce on the croissant. It was a pretty decent egg salad. The mayo leant it a bit of sharpness, and the bacon added salt and additional flavour. I enjoyed eating it on a croissant, though I may add lettuce to the next sandwich I make (if it hasn't gone bad) because I think the lettuce will give it a little brightness. All in all, a tasty and easy egg salad, and one I'd make again.

"Because bacon" may be one of the most important terms in a recipe.

That's pretty accurate with my bacon experiences XD

That looks really good. I'm going to have to cut it in half, which usually happens with recipes. I'm bookmarking it for later.

Oh, cutting it in half probably would have been a good idea. It's just me at home, so most recipes make way too much food but I don't like dividing recipes. Usually I just store it as well as I can and have leftovers for the whole week.

I freeze as well if the recipe looks like it could be frozen. That doesn't always work. I've ruined leftovers that way.

Bacon in egg salad - why had I never thought of that? Sounds good

[fuzzyred]

It is pretty tasty, and not something I necessarily would have thought of on my own either, though I don't know why not; bacon and eggs is a very natural combination, and it is tasty in this case. :)

Definitely going to try this. It sounds very tasty!
