During the spring and summer months we live outdoors. From our little town’s free summer concert series, to playdates with friends and epic camping trips, we try to spend as much time as possible enjoying the great outdoors!
Since we are always on the go and don’t really feel like cooking much, we rely heavily on quick, easy to eat or easy to transport meals, while we enjoy all the summer fun!
Think picnics at the park with Ham and Kale Coleslaw Sandwiches, pasta salads and picnic style charcuterie boards.
Bacon, Lettuce and Tomato Sandwiches are a ‘go to’ in our house when we don’t feel like cooking. There is just something so satisfying about that simple flavor combination, smoky bacon, crisp lettuce and juicy tomato (and for me – a smear of tangy mayo) all on toasted sourdough bread. Plus, not only are BLT’s super satisfying, they are so easy to throw together.
Since we have been eating a lot of BLT’s lately, I decided to change things up a bit and transform the classic BLT into egg salad sandwiches; mixing crumbled bacon and diced tomatoes right into my go to egg salad mixture.
Good doesn’t even begin to describe these BLT Egg Salad Sandwiches. The smoky bacon flavor comes through nicely and the grape tomatoes provide a nice pop of texture.
In fact this is my most favorite egg salad recipe and the one I make most often since it is a great make ahead lunch to take to work or for a hot summer night when we don’t feel like cooking!

Helpful Cooking Tips and Information:
BLT Egg Salad Sandwich ingredients and substitutes:
- Hard-boiled eggs – This egg salad is great made with leftover Easter eggs. You can find our tutorial on how to easily make and peel hard boiled eggs here. Or, you can also use store bought hard boiled eggs if needed.
- Mayonnaise – For years our go to mayonnaise has been Chosen Foods Mayonnaise, however, you can use your preferred mayo brand. Plain Greek yogurt can be substituted for all or part of the mayonnaise.
- Dijon mustard
- Hot sauce – The hot sauce in this recipe doesn’t add heat but flavor. Our favorite brands are Tabasco or Yellow Bird.
- Kosher salt and black pepper
- Fresh parsley – while fresh parsley is preferred 1 teaspoon dried parsley can be substituted.
- Bacon – Tip: Lay bacon in a single layer on a foil lined baking sheet and bake at 400 degrees F for 15-20 minutes, or until crispy.
- Grape tomatoes
- Whole grain bread – We typically serve this egg salad on whole grain or sourdough bread, however, your favorite style of bread can be used.
- Lettuce – romaine, green leaf or butter lettuce works great for these sandwiches.
Frequently Asked Questions:
How long does egg salad last?
Egg salad can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3–4 days.
Can you freeze egg salad?
No — hard boiled eggs do not freeze well and the mayonnaise will separate and become watery.
How do you keep egg salad from getting watery?
Use a paper towel to blot dry the hard boiled eggs after peeling.
Can I make egg salad the night before?
Yes! Egg salad is a fantastic make ahead recipe and actually tastes better after chilling in the refrigerator for a couple of hours.
How many eggs do you need for egg salad?
This recipe for BLT Egg Salad Sandwiches calls for 6 large hard boiled eggs.
How to serve egg salad?
We prefer to eat egg salad as a sandwich and serve it on soft whole grain sandwich bread, croissants or toasted sourdough. Egg salad can also be eaten with crackers or in lettuce or endive cups.
What to serve with Egg Salad Sandwiches:
Chips or pretzels, fresh veggies, like carrot and celery sticks, or fresh fruit are all great simple sides for BLT Egg Salad Sandwiches.
However, if I were serving these sandwiches for a baby shower or volunteer luncheon, I would suggest some “fancier” sides like this Creamy Grape Salad, fresh fruit served with Honey Orange Fruit Dip and a veggie tray and/or chips served with Homemade French Onion Dip.
