Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- To cook the bacon using the "Mauro Method," line a baking sheet with parchment, overlapping each side 1 to 2 inches. Put the bacon on the parchment and bake until crisp and brown, about 20 minutes. This way, the fat will fry the bacon to a perfect crisp but not come in contact with the metal pan, creating a mess. Drain the bacon on paper towels and let cool. (Once the fat is cooled, use or just toss it. No mess!)
- Crumble the bacon into a bowl. Gently mix in the eggs, mayonnaise, chives, mustard and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper.
- Eat alone, or build sandwiches with avocados and tomatoes on toasted croissants.
BACON AND EGG SALAD
Steps:
- Cook the bacon pieces in a large skillet over medium-high heat until crisp; transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Add the shallots to the pan and cook until softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour in 2 tablespoons vinegar, reduce the heat and simmer gently for 1 minute.
- In a large skillet, bring about 6 cups of water and 1 tablespoon of vinegar to gentle simmer. Crack the eggs, 1 at a time, and gently slip them it into the water. Cook until white is set but yolk is still runny, about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes.
- Add the frisee and crisp bacon pieces to the warm pan dressing, season with salt and pepper, to taste, and toss to coat. Divide the dressed frisee and bacon between 4 plates; top with a poached egg and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Serve immediately.

Tips:
- For the best egg salad with shrimp and bacon, use high-quality ingredients. Fresh, flavorful shrimp and bacon will make a big difference in the final dish.
- Be sure to cook the shrimp and bacon properly. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and chewy, while undercooked bacon will be limp and greasy.
- If you're using canned shrimp, be sure to drain and rinse them well before adding them to the salad.
- Use a good-quality mayonnaise. A cheap, watery mayonnaise will make your salad bland and unappealing.
- Season the salad to taste with salt, pepper, and other spices. A little bit of lemon juice or vinegar can also brighten up the flavors.
- Serve the salad immediately or chill it for later. Egg salad with shrimp and bacon is a great make-ahead dish.
Conclusion:
Egg salad with shrimp and bacon is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for a quick lunch or dinner. It's also a great way to use up leftover shrimp and bacon. Next time you're looking for a new salad recipe, give this one a try!
