How to Make Devilled BLT Egg Sliders

1. Place eggs in a pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then cover and remove from heat. Let eggs sit for 10 minutes. Drain and cool under cold running water, then peel.
2. Cook bacon slices in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Drain on paper towels and crumble once cooled.
3. Slice hard-boiled eggs in half lengthwise and carefully scoop out yolks into a medium bowl.
4. Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, hot sauce, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to the bowl. Mash and mix until smooth and creamy, adjusting seasoning to taste.
5. Fill each egg white half with the devilled yolk mixture using a spoon or piping bag for neatness.
6. Split the slider buns and lightly toast them if desired. Place a layer of shredded lettuce on the bottom half, then add a devilled egg half, and top with crumbled bacon.
7. Close each slider with the top bun and sprinkle a little extra smoked paprika for garnish.
8. Serve immediately, or chill for 30 minutes to let flavors meld. These sliders are best enjoyed fresh.

Tips for the Best Results

• Use fresh eggs for easier peeling after boiling.
• Customize heat level by adjusting the amount of hot sauce in the filling.
• For extra crispness, toast slider buns lightly before assembling.
• Add a slice of ripe tomato inside the slider for a true BLT experience.
• Make the devilled filling a day ahead to save prep time before serving.

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftover devilled BLT egg sliders in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The flavors develop nicely but the sliders are best eaten chilled or at room temperature. Avoid freezing as the texture of the egg and bun may suffer.

If you want to warm them slightly, remove the top bun and heat the bottom with the filling briefly in a microwave or toaster oven. Then reassemble and enjoy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make these sliders ahead of time?

Yes! Prepare the devilled egg filling up to one day in advance and keep refrigerated. Assemble the sliders shortly before serving for the best texture and freshness.

What type of bacon works best for this recipe?

Thick-cut bacon is ideal for these sliders because it crisps up nicely and holds its shape when crumbled. However, standard sliced bacon works well too.

Can I use other greens besides iceberg lettuce?

Absolutely! Romaine, butter lettuce, or even arugula can add a different texture or flavor dimension. Just choose a green that provides some crunch for contrast.

Is there a way to make these sliders vegetarian?

To make a vegetarian version, omit the bacon and consider adding roasted red peppers or sun-dried tomatoes for smoky flavor. You could also use plant-based bacon alternatives if desired.
