🕒 Cook Time: 10 minutes
🍴 Serves: 4 (makes about 8 wraps)

🧾 Ingredients:

For the Egg Salad:

6 large eggs
¼ cup mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt for a lighter version)
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1 tsp lemon juice or vinegar
Salt & pepper to taste
Optional: pinch of smoked paprika or cayenne for a kick
Optional: 1 tbsp chopped chives or green onions

For the BLT Filling:

8 slices bacon, cooked until crispy
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved or diced
8 large Romaine or Butter Lettuce leaves (or iceberg if preferred)

🍳 Instructions:

1. Boil the Eggs

Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover them with cold water.
Bring to a boil, then cover, turn off heat, and let sit for 10-12 minutes.
Transfer eggs to an ice bath for 5 minutes, then peel and chop.

2. Make the Egg Salad

In a mixing bowl, combine chopped boiled eggs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
Mix until creamy. Fold in chopped chives or green onions if using.
Adjust seasoning to taste.

3. Prepare the Bacon

Cook bacon in a skillet or bake in the oven (400°F/200°C for 15-20 minutes) until crisp.
Drain on paper towels and chop into bite-sized pieces.

4. Assemble the Wraps

Lay out your lettuce leaves.
Spoon a generous amount of egg salad onto each leaf.
Top with chopped bacon and diced cherry tomatoes.
Optional: sprinkle with paprika or fresh herbs for garnish.

5. Serve

Serve immediately as hand-held wraps or plated as lettuce boats.
Optionally, drizzle with a little hot sauce or balsamic glaze for extra flavor.

🥗 Tips & Variations:

Meal Prep: Store egg salad in a sealed container for up to 3 days. Keep bacon and lettuce separate until ready to serve.
Add-ins: Try adding diced avocado, pickles, or a touch of hot sauce to the egg salad for a twist.
Make it keto: Use full-fat mayo and add avocado or cheese for more fat and richness.
Low-fat option: Swap mayo with Greek yogurt and use turkey bacon.
