With summer just around the corner, and starting to rear it’s head here in AZ, I wanted to make a classic deviled egg that works for all your spring and summer parties.
During the hotter months, I avoid my oven like the plague. My slow cooker sits on my counter regularly and sandwiches are my lunch of choice. BLTs are one of those classic sandwiches everyone loves and the inspiration for these eggs.
While I normally substitute avocado for tomato in my BLTs, I went traditional for these eggs. I’m totally one of those people that think raw tomatoes are gross. It’s the gooey insides. Take those away and I’m more open-minded. Which is good because these eggs are awesome!!
The fresh lettuce & pops of tomato paired with the creamy filling and salty bacon is a flavor combination you can’t resist.
Per the usual, I could probably eat a dozen of these by myself, but I try to share. And then go sneak the last two that everyone is not eating so they’re not “that guy” that takes the last one.
I’m totally that guy.
