Serves: 4 wraps (adjust as needed)
Ingredients:
- 6 hard-boiled eggs, peeled and chopped.
- 3 – 4 strips bacon, cooked until crisp and chopped.
- About ½ cup cherry or grape tomatoes, halved.
- ¼ cup finely diced celery (optional but adds crunch) and/or finely chopped red onion or green onion.
- ¼–⅓ cup mayonnaise (or alternate creamy binder such as Greek yogurt) plus 2 tsp Dijon mustard (optional) and a pinch of paprika or seasoning salt if desired.
- Salt and black pepper to taste.
- 4 large lettuce leaves (butter lettuce, romaine hearts or crisp leaf lettuce all work well) for wrapping.
Instructions:
- Prepare the eggs: bring a saucepan of water to a boil, add eggs, cook for about 10 minutes, then transfer to ice-water bath and peel.
- Cook the bacon until crisp (either in a skillet or in the oven at ~200 °C/400 °F for ~15-20 minutes), then chop into bite-sized pieces.
- In a mixing bowl, combine chopped hard-boiled eggs, bacon pieces, halved tomatoes, diced celery/onion, mayonnaise, mustard (if using), paprika/seasoning salt (if using), and salt & pepper. Gently stir until well mixed.
- Chill the mixture for ~10–30 minutes if you like it cold and more set, or proceed immediately.
- To assemble: lay out each lettuce leaf, spoon an even portion of the egg-salad mixture into the center of each leaf, fold or roll the leaf around the filling.
- Serve immediately so the lettuce stays crisp.
Professional Serving Suggestions
- Arrange the wraps on a long serving platter with the open side facing up so the colorful filling shows.
- Garnish with a small sprig of chives or finely chopped fresh herbs (e.g., parsley or dill) for a refined touch.
- Serve with a side of fresh vegetable-sticks (carrot, cucumber, bell pepper) or a light tossed salad to complement the wrap without adding heavy carbs.
- For catering or buffet style: line the wraps closely on a tray, drizzle lightly with homemade vinaigrette or a yogurt-herb dressing on the side, and provide toothpicks for convenient pick-up.
- Optionally, stack two lettuce leaves per wrap for extra stability, especially if using softer lettuce like butter leaf.
