This Bacon Egg Salad Sandwich is a flavorful twist on the classic egg salad, made even better with crispy, smoky bacon stirred right into the mix. It's quick to make, especially if you have leftover hard boiled eggs and bacon from breakfast.
This sandwich is a go to lunch favorite in my house. I was inspired to blend bacon into my egg salad after making these Shrimp Deviled Eggs with Bacon. Just a small touch of bacon takes things to a whole new level. It also pairs well with a light side like veggies and Caramelized Onion Dip.
