Ingredients you’ll need for Egg Sliders
You only need a few everyday ingredients to make these sliders—no bread, no fuss, just flavor.
Main ingredients
- 6 hard-boiled eggs (small) – act as the “buns” for the sliders
- 2 teaspoons mustard – adds tang; Dijon or yellow mustard both work
- 6 strips cooked turkey bacon – crisp and smoky, for that BLT punch
- 2 tomatoes, sliced – choose ripe but firm tomatoes
- 3 baby romaine lettuce leaves – or use butter lettuce for a softer wrap
- Salt, to taste – enhances every bite
- Black pepper, to taste – adds subtle heat
Optional add-ons or substitutes
- Add a touch of mayo or Greek yogurt for creaminess
- Replace lettuce with spinach for a heartier green
- Add avocado slices for healthy fats
- Use chicken bacon if preferred
- Sprinkle paprika or chives for extra flavor
- Turn them into appetizers with toothpicks for parties
These ingredients also pair perfectly with sides like my Mustard Roasted Potatoes, a bold and crispy addition that keeps the flavor theme going strong.
Step-by-step instructions
Making BLT Egg Sliders is quick and foolproof—ideal for busy mornings or meal prep.
- Prepare the eggs. Slice each hard-boiled egg in half lengthwise. Carefully remove yolks and set them aside in a bowl.
- Make the filling. Mash yolks with mustard, salt, and pepper until creamy. Adjust flavor to taste.
- Assemble the sliders. On one egg half, add a small lettuce leaf, a slice of tomato, and a strip of bacon.
- Top it off. Add a spoonful of the mustard-yolk mixture, then gently cap with the other egg half.
- Secure and serve. Hold together with a toothpick if serving as appetizers, or plate them open-faced for breakfast.
- Garnish. Sprinkle with black pepper and a tiny drizzle of olive oil if desired.
Quick reminders:
- Use small eggs—they’re easier to handle and bite-sized.
- Chill before serving for cleaner stacking.
- Blot bacon with paper towels to avoid grease.
- Add the tomato slice right before serving to keep the slider fresh.

Storing and reheating
BLT Egg Sliders are best fresh but can be meal-prepped ahead of time.
How to store it
- Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days
- Separate with parchment paper to prevent sticking
- Store bacon and tomato separately if prepping ahead
- Avoid freezing—eggs can turn rubbery
How to reheat it
- Best served cold or at room temperature
- If needed, warm bacon briefly before assembling
- Avoid microwaving assembled sliders—it can cause eggs to toughen
When stored properly, they make an ideal high-protein snack ready whenever hunger strikes.
