Common Mistakes to Avoid

1. Overcooking the eggs: Overcooked eggs can develop a dry texture and gray-green yolks.
2. Using wet lettuce: Excess water can make the wraps soggy, so dry the lettuce thoroughly.
3. Adding bacon too early: Mixing crispy bacon into the egg salad well in advance can make it lose its crunch.
4. Overfilling the leaves: Too much filling can make the lettuce tear and become difficult to eat.

Required Equipment

• Saucepan — cooks the eggs evenly for a firm but creamy yolk.
• Large bowl — provides enough room to mix the egg salad without crushing it.
• Fork or egg masher — quickly breaks the eggs into the ideal chunky texture.
• Sharp knife — creates clean tomato and bacon pieces.
• Salad spinner or clean towel — removes excess water from lettuce leaves.

Storage Instructions

Store the egg salad separately from the lettuce leaves and tomatoes whenever possible.

• Egg salad: Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
• Lettuce leaves: Store dry in a sealed container lined with a paper towel for up to 3–4 days.
• Bacon: Keep cooked bacon refrigerated separately for up to 4 days.
• Assembled wraps: Best eaten immediately; assembled wraps can become soggy after extended storage.
• Freezer: Egg salad and assembled lettuce wraps are not recommended for freezing because the texture changes significantly after thawing.

📝 Ingredients

For the Egg Salad

• 6 large eggs
• 1/4 cup (60 g) mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh chives
• 1 tablespoon finely chopped celery
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste

For the BLT Wraps

• 6 slices bacon, cooked until crisp and chopped
• 1 cup (150 g) cherry tomatoes, halved or diced
• 8 large romaine or butter lettuce leaves
• 1 tablespoon fresh chives or parsley, for garnish
• 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika, optional

Ingredient note: Greek yogurt lightens the egg salad and adds extra protein. Use sturdy lettuce leaves such as romaine or butter lettuce so they don’t tear while filling.

Directions

1. Boil the eggs.
   Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water by about 1 inch. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a gentle simmer and cook for 9–10 minutes.
2. Cool the eggs.
   Immediately transfer the eggs to an ice bath for 5 minutes. This stops the cooking process and makes peeling easier.
3. Prepare the eggs.
   Peel the eggs and chop them into small, irregular pieces. Keep some larger pieces for a chunky, satisfying texture.
4. Make the dressing.
   In a bowl, mix mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, chives, celery, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt. Stir for about 30 seconds until smooth.
5. Combine the egg salad.
   Fold the chopped eggs into the dressing gently. Avoid overmixing—the finished egg salad should be creamy but still chunky.
6. Prepare the BLT ingredients.
   Cook the bacon until crisp, drain on paper towels, and chop it into bite-sized pieces. Prepare the tomatoes and wash the lettuce leaves thoroughly.
7. Dry the lettuce.
   Pat the leaves completely dry with a clean towel or use a salad spinner. Dry leaves help prevent soggy wraps.
8. Assemble the wraps.
   Place one or two lettuce leaves together for extra strength. Add about 1/3 cup egg salad, followed by chopped bacon and tomatoes.
9. Finish the wraps.
   Sprinkle with chives and optional smoked paprika. Add freshly cracked black pepper or a dash of hot sauce if desired.
10. Serve immediately.
    The ideal finished wrap should have creamy egg salad, crisp lettuce, juicy tomato, and crunchy bacon in every bite.

High-protein cooking tip: Replace up to half of the mayonnaise with additional plain Greek yogurt to increase protein while keeping the egg salad creamy.
