An egg salad with bacon and cheddar - sounds amazing right? | in my Red Kitchen

Egg salad has been in my life as long as I remember. My grandma makes the best egg salad in the whole wide world – yes I’m serious! I don’t even know what she puts in it. Raw thinly sliced onion, that’s for sure. But there must be a secret ingredient she uses for it.

I need to ask her for the recipe!
But I myself also make a decent good egg salad if I can say so. For the past weeks I’ve been making quite a few egg salads, I don’t even know why.

Maybe because it’s sooooo easy and you can make millions variations with it. And I literally mean millions! This bacon and cheddar egg salad was living in my head for a while now. Browsing through the fridge a few weeks ago, looking for ingredients while making an egg salad I thought it was a good idea to add some shredded mozzarella to the salad.

So I did. And boy it was a good idea! The cheese gives extra body to this salad. So why not use a sharper cheese, like gorgonzola? I would have loved to use some blue cheese but I think my husband would have asked for a divorce if he found out I had packed him sandwiches with gorgonzola egg salad for lunch 😛

No gorgonzola it was… but wait, cheddar is a good idea! And if we are going there, why not add bacon?

So bacon and cheddar egg salad it was. And it’s GOOD! I know, I know… everything I make is good 😉 but this one really ís. Go see for yourself:

  1. What a great idea to put bacon and cheese in egg salad! This looks good enough that I might even be tempted to eat it for breakfast – eggs, cheese, bacon, what’s not to like?!

  2. I love egg salad!! Except from the bacon it kind of reminds me of my sisters eggsalad. She also used to put tiny cubes of gherkins in it. yum!!
