Serves: 8 sliders
Ingredients
- 8 large eggs
- 8 slices bacon
- 1 cup lettuce, shredded
- 1 tomato, sliced
- 1 avocado, sliced
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 8 large eggs, 8 slices of bacon, 1 cup of shredded lettuce, 1 tomato (sliced), 1 avocado (sliced), and salt and pepper to taste. Make sure you have a clean workspace and all necessary cooking utensils ready.
- Preheat a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the 8 slices of bacon in a single layer. Cook the bacon for about 5-7 minutes, flipping halfway through, until it is crispy and golden brown. Once cooked, transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
- While the bacon is cooking, prepare the eggs. In a medium bowl, crack open the 8 large eggs and whisk them together until the yolks and whites are fully combined. Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste.
- After the bacon is done, remove excess grease from the skillet, leaving just enough to coat the bottom. Reduce the heat to low and pour the whisked eggs into the skillet. Allow the eggs to cook gently, stirring occasionally, until they are softly scrambled and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the skillet from heat.
- To assemble the sliders, take a serving plate and start with a layer of scrambled eggs as the base. Use a spatula to scoop out the scrambled eggs and place a generous portion on the plate.
- Next, add a slice of crispy bacon on top of the eggs. Follow this by layering on a small handful of shredded lettuce, a slice of tomato, and a few slices of avocado. Season the avocado with a pinch of salt and pepper for added flavor.
- Repeat the layering process for the remaining sliders until all ingredients are used up. You should end up with a total of 8 sliders.
- Serve the Bun Less Everything BLT Egg Sliders warm, and enjoy them as a delicious breakfast or brunch option. These sliders can also be served with a side of fresh fruit or a light salad for a complete meal.
Tips
- Bacon Perfection: For extra crispy bacon, use a cast-iron skillet and cook slowly over medium-low heat. Pat the bacon dry before cooking to ensure maximum crispiness.
- Egg Technique: Whisk your eggs thoroughly and season well. Use a non-stick pan and cook eggs on low heat, stirring gently to create soft, creamy scrambled eggs that aren't dry or rubbery.
- Avocado Hack: Choose a ripe avocado and slice it just before serving to prevent browning. A squeeze of fresh lemon juice can help keep the avocado looking fresh and vibrant.
- Meal Prep Friendly: You can prepare the components ahead of time. Cook bacon and eggs in advance, and store separately in the refrigerator. Assemble just before serving for maximum freshness.
- Customization is Key: Feel free to add extra toppings like a sprinkle of cheese, a dash of hot sauce, or fresh herbs to make these sliders uniquely yours.
- Serving Suggestion: For an extra touch, serve with a side of fresh salsa or a light herb dressing to complement the rich flavors of the eggs and bacon.
