Egg salad reminds me of my childhood. I pretty much hated all foods that weren’t cookies or brownies when I was younger, but if you smeared mayo on anything, I’d eat it. So I loved chicken salad, egg salad, and surprisingly even tuna salad. I remember when I was back in high school and HATED IT so much that I would leave at lunch to eat with my dad almost every day since his work was down the street. Maybe I was a bit dramatic. Ok, I still am. But my dad would pack egg salad sandwiches every day. Life was awesome. Especially with giant pieces of bread. That was the only positive that came out of my high school experience: egg salad sandwiches. Fact.
Remember when I made bacon jalapeño deviled eggs? Well these sandwiches were inspired by those little guys.
Did you know that yesterday was National Pancake Day? And Fat Tuesday. That’s ironic.
In honor of National Pancake Day, since I had eaten pancakes on Monday, I ate ice cream topped with caramel. From the caramel sauce I had made for my Caramel Apple Pancakes. Makes perfect sense to me. I want to swim in that caramel sauce. And bathe. And almost drown but then eat my way to the surface and survive. Yep. That’s what I want to do.
So I’ve had some kind of stomach bug recently. Not the kind that makes you stay in your house because you have to run to the loo every other minute, but the kind that makes you stay in your house because moving out of the fetal position is incredibly painful. It makes it challenging to do things. Like cook. Or eat. I had to make some food with cauliflower the other day and I about threw up just from the smell. So my sickness has made my senses even more intense. And please do not joke around that I’m pregnant. I’m not. And that’s not funny. People always think that answer is so clever. False. I think my sickness has also given me a bad attitude. My bad.
My mom nicknamed me loo. She still calls me that to this day. Is she implying something?
Bacon Jalapeño Egg Salad Sandwiches
- Yield: 2 1x
Ingredients
Instructions
- Make biscuits. You will need two for this recipe.
- While biscuits are cooking, bring a large pot of water to boil. Once the water is boiling, place eggs in the water and cook for 15 minutes. Remove from water and place in a bowl of cold water to help cool. Once cool, remove the shell.
- While eggs cool, cook bacon in oven or on stove top. Let cool then chop into small pieces.
- In a large bowl, place chopped bacon, peeled eggs, mayo, jalapeño, chives, dill, garlic powder, and salt and pepper.
- Mix well. Add more mayo, if needed.
- Cut warm biscuits open and stuff full with egg salad. I even topped my sandwiches with hot sauce, because hot sauce is wonderful with eggs.

I want to put that in my face somewhere in the vicinity of NOWNOWNOW. Luckily, I have something equally delicious for lunch — leftover pizza spaghetti pie!
And no, “maybe you’re pregnant” is never funny. Like even if you’re actively trying to get pregnant (at least, I would imagine).
Adding bacon to egg salad…brilliant. Why didn’t I think of that?? Totally going to make this.
I call my daughter Loo, too! I have no idea why.
Man, we live strangely parallel lives. I love me some egg salad, and I lived off tuna salad my entire first year of grad school.
Egg salad was one hundred percent my childhood food too. My grandma made it for me all the time and her’s was the best. My great aunt tried once but there were egg shells in it – I don’t think egg shells are paleo …
Thx for the recipeeeee
I think it’s National Pancake Day because it’s Fat Tuesday — the English, Irish and a lot of Europeans call Fat Tuesday Pancake Tuesday and celebrate it as such 🙂 It started as a way to use up all the eggs, cream, etc. before giving those foods up for Lent. I had no idea until I lived in Ireland and everyone got so excited about Pancake Tuesday!
Oh man. Egg salad. I’m a purist when it comes to egg salad (just a little mustard and pickle relish), but this looks so good that I might need to try it. Yum!
Hope you feel better…
This looks awesome. Thank you for all the great recipes, you have made the transition to Paleo much easier than I ever thought. The spaghetti pie and sweet potato biscuits are our favorites so far.
Any substitution for mayo you can recommend? Mustard perhaps?
that would bring on a very different taste but that would work
If you’re not strict paleo, Greek yogurt often works well, too.
Avocado!
That sickness has been spreading like wild fire around my office! It was the weirdest bug. I felt like crap leaving work at 4pm on Monday and was nauseous and throwing up all night and most of the next day. Then by Tuesday night it was fine. Smells were so intense and nauseating. I knew I wasn’t pregnant, but I remember thinking “if this is anything like morning sickness, no thanks.” Bleck! Feel better.
….Did you ever think that maybe you’re pregnant?
I’m just kidding! I hate when people say that to me. Sorry that you’re stomach feels bad. Drinking ginger ale helps. Hope you feel better soon!
I HATE the pregnancy thing too, so lame. It’s always the first response to ANY claims of sickness, it definitely gets old! Hope you feel better.
