How to Make the Keto Bacon Egg and Cheese Sliders

Step 1: Whip Up the Avocado Spread

Start by tossing half an avocado into your food processor along with that zingy lime juice and aromatic cumin. Blend until it’s silky smooth, then give it a taste and add a pinch of salt if needed. This creamy spread is going to be the glue that helps hold our sliders together, plus it adds a gorgeous flavor dimension!

Step 2: Prep Your Egg “Buns”

Take those perfectly cooked hard-boiled eggs and slice them lengthwise to create the top and bottom of your mini sandwiches. The flat cut surface gives you the perfect base to stack your fillings. If you’re feeling fancy, you can use an egg slicer to get perfectly even halves.

Step 3: Layer the Cheesy Goodness

Place a thin slice of cheddar on the bottom half of each egg. The cheese acts as a barrier between the egg and other ingredients, preventing things from sliding around. Plus, who doesn’t love cheese? If you’re serving these at a party, you could even use different cheese varieties for a fun mix!

Step 4: Add the Bacon

Next comes the star of the show (besides the egg, of course), bacon! Place half a slice of that crispy, smoky goodness on top of the cheese. The contrast between the creamy egg and cheese with the crunchy bacon is absolutely divine.

Step 5: Dollop the Avocado

Add a small spoonful of your avocado mixture on top of the bacon. This not only adds amazing flavor but also helps everything stick together when you assemble your slider. The creamy texture is the perfect complement to the crispy bacon.

Step 6: Cap It Off

Now for the finishing touch! Place the other half of the egg on top, creating a mini sandwich. Secure the whole thing with a toothpick right through the center to keep everything in place. This makes them easy to pick up and enjoy without everything falling apart.

Pro Tips for Making the Recipe

• Perfect Hard-Boiled Eggs: For eggs that peel easily, place them in cold water, bring to a boil, then cover and remove from heat for 10 minutes before plunging into ice water.
• Bacon Crispiness: Cook your bacon until it’s extra crispy since it will soften slightly when combined with the other ingredients.
• Make-Ahead Magic: Prepare all components separately and assemble just before serving to prevent sogginess.
• Avocado Alternative: If avocados aren’t ripe or available, substitute with a tablespoon of cream cheese mixed with herbs for a different but equally delicious spread.

How to Serve

These versatile keto sliders shine in so many settings:

• Arrange on a platter with fresh herbs for a gorgeous brunch centerpiece.
• Pack in a container for a protein-packed lunch on the go.
• Serve alongside a simple green salad for a complete low-carb meal.
• Create a slider bar with different cheese options, bacon varieties, and seasoning choices for a fun interactive party spread.

Make Ahead and Storage

Storing Leftovers

These sliders will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The avocado may darken slightly, but the lime juice helps slow this process.

Meal Prep Strategy

For meal prep, store the components separately: keep hard-boiled eggs whole until ready to use, bacon in a separate container, and the avocado spread with extra lime juice on top to prevent browning.

Freezing

Unfortunately, these don’t freeze well due to the egg and avocado textures changing upon thawing. They’re best enjoyed fresh or within a couple of days of making.

FAQs : Keto Bacon Egg and Cheese Sliders

Can I use different cheeses in this recipe?
Absolutely! Swiss, pepper jack, or even a smoked gouda would be fantastic alternatives to cheddar. Just make sure to slice it thin enough to fit nicely on the egg half.

How do I prevent my avocado spread from turning brown?
The lime juice helps, but for extra insurance, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the avocado spread if storing it separately, and add an extra squeeze of lime juice on top.

Can I make these without bacon for a vegetarian option?
Yes! You can omit the bacon entirely or substitute with thin slices of roasted red pepper, sun-dried tomatoes, or even a sprinkle of roasted pumpkin seeds for crunch.

My eggs keep sliding around when I try to assemble the sliders. Any tips?
Make sure your avocado spread isn’t too thin, as it helps “glue” everything together. Also, cutting a tiny slice off the rounded bottom of each egg half creates a flat surface that prevents rolling.
