What You'll Need and Why

Simple, fresh, and totally crave-worthy.

For the BLT Egg Sliders

• Hard-boiled eggs — peeled and halved; the perfect creamy “bun.”
• Crispy bacon — salty, smoky, and essential for BLT magic.
• Lettuce — romaine or butter lettuce for crisp, clean crunch.
• Tomatoes — cherry or grape tomatoes sliced for juicy pops of flavor.
• BLT dressing — the tangy drizzle that makes these next-level.

For the Tangy BLT Dressing

• Mayonnaise — the creamy base of the dressing.
• Sour cream — adds lightness and a subtle tang.
• Everything But the Bagel seasoning — garlicky, oniony, sesame perfection.
• White wine vinegar — brightens everything and balances the richness.
• Dijon mustard — gives the dressing punch and depth.
• Salt & pepper — taste and adjust to keep it balanced.

Swaps and Flavor-Boosting Variations

These egg sliders are tiny, but the flavor possibilities are HUGE.

• Add quick-pickled red onions — bright, tangy, and gorgeous on a brunch platter.
• Use pickled jalapeños — for a spicy BLT moment that absolutely slaps.
• Add sliced olives or capers — salty, briny pops that balance the creamy eggs.
• Smoked salmon upgrade — turns the sliders into fancy brunch bites with zero effort.
• Peperoncini or banana peppers — adds zippy acidity and crunch.
• Sprinkle with parmesan — a nutty, salty finish that works shockingly well.
• Add dill pickles or relish — gives full BLT sandwich energy in a single bite.
• Spoon on a little chili crisp — spicy, garlicky, crunchy heaven.
• Swap the dressing for sriracha mayo — or drizzle sriracha right on top for heat lovers.
• Try fresh herbs — parsley, chives, or dill add freshness and color.
• Make them “California style” — add a thin slice of avocado to each slider.
• Turkey bacon or veggie bacon — still crisp and delicious for anyone who doesn’t do pork.
• Everything seasoning sprinkle — extra crunch + the perfect BLT flavor boost.

Tips & Tricks

These tiny egg sliders behave perfectly when you treat them right.

• Chill the eggs before slicing — you get clean cuts with zero yolk smearing. Warm eggs = messy edges and slipping toppings.
• Use a sharp, non-serrated knife — it glides through eggs without tearing the whites.
• Pat your tomatoes dry — moisture is the #1 slider-wrecker. Dry tomatoes = sturdy stacks.
• Make the bacon EXTRA crisp — floppy bacon causes structural failure. You want shatteringly crisp pieces.
• Cut the bacon to fit the egg halves — smaller pieces sit neatly and don’t topple the stack.
• Assemble in this order for stability:
  egg → dressing → bacon → lettuce → tomato → tiny dot of dressing as “glue”.
• Use toothpicks for perfect presentation — keeps them upright on a platter and makes grabbing them easy.
• Season the eggs lightly — a pinch of salt brings out all the BLT flavors.
• Make the dressing ahead — it tastes even better after 20–30 minutes as the flavors mingle.
• Keep ingredients cold until assembly — especially lettuce and tomatoes. Crisp freshness = best texture.
• Serve within 1 hour of assembling — they hold beautifully, but fresh is chef’s kiss.

Serving Ideas

These egg sliders shine anywhere you’d normally serve something tasty… and everywhere you wouldn’t.

• Build a brunch board — surround the sliders with fruit, pastries, crispy bacon, croissants, and mini muffins. Instant showstopper.
• Add them to a breakfast sandwich bar — these become the protein bite among bagels, biscuits, spreads, and toppings.
• Serve as a hand-held appetizer — perfect for showers, holidays, football parties, or any night you “just need something fun.”
• Stack them on a summer platter — they’re cool, refreshing, and perfect for patio snacking.
• Pack for picnics — assemble right before eating and enjoy your BLT moment under the sun.
• Add to a low-carb lunch plate — alongside avocado slices, cucumbers, and crispy bacon.
• Use as a side dish for soup or salads — great with tomato soup, potato soup, Caesar salad, or chopped salads.
• Serve as a protein-packed snack — a couple sliders make an incredible mid-afternoon pick-me-up.
• Make them into party skewers — egg → bacon → lettuce → tomato on a toothpick with a drizzle of dressing. Cute, tidy, and irresistible.

Storage & Make-Ahead

These egg sliders are at their very best when assembled fresh, but here’s how to prep like a pro.

• Make-ahead components:
  • Hard-boiled eggs: store peeled or unpeeled for up to 5 days.
  • Cooked bacon: refrigerate up to 4 days, crisp in the oven or air fryer before serving.
  • BLT dressing: mix up to 3 days ahead; the flavor gets even better.
  • Lettuce & tomatoes: prep the day of for maximum crunch and freshness.
• Assemble just before serving:
  Once assembled, the sliders hold well for about 1 hour, but are best enjoyed fresh for the crispest lettuce and firm tomatoes.
• Leftovers:
  If you somehow have extras (unlikely), store them in an airtight container for 1 day. The texture softens, but the flavor is still great.
• Do not freeze:
  Eggs and fresh vegetables do not freeze well and will turn watery and rubbery once thawed.
