Bacon and Egg Salad with Leftover Boiled Eggs

Whenever you’re hard boiling eggs for snacking or making deviled eggs, do you end up with leftovers? Same. That’s why I created this recipe for an egg salad that uses leftover boiled eggs along with leftover bacon. It makes the tastiest sandwich.

The whole idea behind this recipe is finding ways to use up leftovers. Maybe you stumbled upon this recipe right after Easter, when you had all of those hard boiled eggs you made by boiling in the air fryer or boiling on the stovetop and no idea what to do with them. I mean, if you have leftover eggs and they haven’t been cooked — and you’re not sure you’re going to use them up soon — you can always freeze raw eggs. This was something I only recently learned was possible.

But let’s say you made hard boiled eggs for deviled eggs but didn’t use them all. Now what? Well, make egg salad. What’s great about this recipe is it uses many of the same ingredients you would have already had on hand for those deviled eggs, namely mayonnaise and mustard. Then, if you happen to have leftover air fryer bacon or that you made for another reason, this recipe calls for using that, too.

I love egg salad sandwiches and this one is a delight to eat. Usually, I’ll enjoy this between two slices of our homemade whole wheat bread. Delicious!

Ingredients

  • 2 eggs hard boiled
  • 2 pieces bacon cooked
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon mustard yellow or Dijon; not golden brown
  • salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste
  • parsley chopped

Directions

Dice the egg into chunks and add to a bowl. To the bowl add the mayonnaise, mustard, salt and pepper.

Crumble the cooked bacon into small bits. Add to the bowl with the egg and other ingredients. Stir to mix. Add in chopped parsley. Stir again. Enjoy!

Notes

This recipe calls for using eggs that you’ve already hard boiled, either by boiling in the air fryer or boiling on the stovetop. However, if you don’t already have cooked eggs, you can use one of those methods to get your eggs to a hard boiled state.
Also, I used bacon that I made in the air fryer. If you don’t have an air fryer or cooked bacon on hand, you can cook in a skillet, the microwave or the oven.
