For an extra smoky flavor, try using smoked bacon. If you don't have fresh dill, you can substitute 1 teaspoon of dried dill. Adjust the amount of mayonnaise to your liking. Some people prefer a creamier egg salad. A pinch of smoked paprika can add a lovely depth of flavor.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
15 mins
Gently place the eggs in a saucepan and cover them completely with cold water. Bring the water to a rolling boil, then immediately remove the pan from the heat. Cover the pan and let the eggs stand in the hot water for exactly 15 minutes. (15 minutes)
02
Step
10 mins
While the eggs are 'cooking,' prepare the bacon. Place the diced bacon in a cold skillet over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the bacon is crisp and evenly browned, approximately 8-10 minutes. Transfer the cooked bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease. (10 minutes)
03
Step
2 mins
In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, green onions, fresh dill, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and yellow mustard until well combined. This forms the flavorful base for your egg salad. (2 minutes)
04
Step
5 mins
Once the eggs have finished their hot water bath, immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. This will also make them easier to peel. Once cooled, gently peel the eggs and chop them into ¼-inch cubes. (5 minutes)
05
Step
1 hrs
Gently fold the chopped eggs and crispy bacon into the mayonnaise mixture, being careful not to mash the eggs. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together. (1 hour)
06
StepServe chilled on your favorite bread, crackers, or lettuce cups. Enjoy!
