Bacon Egg And Cheese Breakfast Sliders

These Bacon Egg and Cheese Breakfast Sliders skip the bread entirely — crispy bacon, sharp cheddar, and lime-mashed avocado stacked between two halves of a hard-boiled egg and pinned with a toothpick. They come together in about 30 minutes and make 6 sliders, perfect for a busy weekday breakfast or a weekend brunch spread.

Ingredients

6 eggs
3 slices of bacon
½ medium-sized avocado
½ tsp 2.5mL lime juice
Pinch of pepper
Pinch of salt
1 ½ deli slices cheddar cheese sliced into fourths

Garnishes:

Pinch of paprika
Freshly-cracked pepper
Pinch of salt

Instructions

Add eggs to saucepan in even layer. Cover with water and place pan on stovetop over high heat. Bring water to a boil then boil for 9 minutes.
Meanwhile, prepare an ice bath by filling a bowl with ice cubes and then covering with water.
Additionally, while eggs boil, cook bacon on stovetop until crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to de-grease, break in half, and set aside.
Once time has lapsed for boiling eggs, immediately carefully transfer eggs from boiling water to ice bath. Allow eggs to sit in ice bath for several minutes.
Meanwhile, mash avocado in a bowl. Add lime juice, pepper, and salt. Set aside.
Remove eggs from ice bath and peel and dispose of shells. Slice each egg in half lengthwise.
Lay 6 of the sliced eggs on a plate, top with piece of sliced cheddar, dollop of mashed avocado, halved slice of crisped bacon, then top with other side of egg. Secure each with a toothpick. Repeat until you've yielded 6 egg sliders.
Garnish each egg slider with paprika, freshly-cracked pepper, and salt.

Notes

If You Want The Sliders To Sit Flat On A Serving Dish: Using a sharp knife, slice off a small lengthwise piece on the bottom of 6 of the hard-boiled eggs so that the eggs will sit level on a plate.

Net Carbs: These contain just 0.9 grams of net carbs per serving. Net carbs are calculated by taking total carbs, subtracting fiber, and subtracting sugar alcohols. The recipe, as written, yields 6 servings.

Refrigerator Storage: Leftover egg sliders should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. When stored properly, they will last up to 3 days.
