    It's maybe not a great idea to try to write a food blog post when you're really hungry. All I can think about it the fig jam I just bought to make a brie, fig, and proscuitto grilled cheese. I'm impatiently waiting for my husband to get home so we can eat something, anything for dinner. Don't tell me for one minute that food isn't powerful.

    For the kitchen witch, food can mean so much more than just fuel for your body. I know there are people out there who don't spend most of their day thinking about food, but I could never be one of those people who just drinks protein shakes and takes vitamins. The planning, prepration, and consumption of food is vital to my experience. It floods all my senses. And if it's not at least a little bit pleasurable, I'm not interested.

    What makes this Bacon Egg Salad Sandwich so awesome?

    I love egg salad. It was one of the first things I learned how to make when I was a teenager and had almost no interest in cooking. I can't even remember why I learned to make it, but I was much more of an experimenal chef back then, and it gave me the opportunity to play around and add things that just felt right. And what could be more right than bacon? It's an egg's natural ally. They were meant for each other.

    This Bacon & Egg Salad Sandwich might be what I wish I was eating for lunch every single day. Crispy bacon gets folded into chopped hard-boiled eggs, lots of mayo, a bit of mustard, some seasonings, and a bit of fresh dill for brightness. I think egg salad really needs to be served on soft bread, potato bread if you can get it. That's the ultimate lunch experience.

    How to make a Bacon Egg Salad Sandwich

    This is so easy, a teenager could do it. Fry up some bacon until crisp, and hard-boil some eggs. I forgot about my eggs, and they got a bit of a green ring around the yolk. It's fine. It's just not very pretty. If that happens to you, don't sweat it. Chop up your bacon and your peeled boiled eggs and add them to a mixing bowl.

    You can measure if you're really not sure, but I tend to just make this by feel. Add a bunch of mayo, a bit of yellow mustard, and some dill. Fresh is awesome, but dried tastes great as well. Then spice it up. I like to go with paprika, cayenne, garlic granules, onion powder, and salt and pepper. Stir it all together, give it a taste, and see if you want to make changes. We'll call it intuitive cooking. Then store this in the fridge until you're ready to make sandwiches. Easy.

    FAQ

    What else could I add to my sandwich?

    I would never stop you from putting cheese on anything. Some greens might also be up your alley. Watercress is a popular choice.

    What's the best kind of bread to use?

    If I could get it, I would use potato bread. I think you definitely want a softer bread here, though. If you try to put egg salad on a baguette, it will just all squish out while you try to tear through the chewy bread with your teeth. If seedy bread is more your style, that would be good, too. I tend to just use whatever sliced sandwich bread is hanging around.

    Magical Properties of Dill

    According to The Modern Guide to Witchcraft by Skye Alexander, dill can be used to attract good fortune, tranquility, prosperity, passion, or protection. With it's vibrant green color, the prosperity and good fortune totally make sense. It's soft fronds also give me those tranquil vibes. And paired with eggs, this recipe could have strong protective properties.

    • Prep Time: 15
    • Cook Time: 10
    • Total Time: 25 minutes
    • Yield: 3 sandwiches 1x
    • Category: Lunch
    • Method: Mixed
    • Cuisine: American

    Ingredients

    Units Scale
    • 6 large eggs
    • 4 slices bacon
    • ½ cup mayonnaise
    • 2 tablespoons mustard
    • 1 teaspoon dried dill 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
    • ¼ teaspoon paprika
    • Dash of cayenne
    • Dash of garlic powder
    • Dash of onion powder
    • Salt and pepper to taste
    • 6 slices of bread

    Instructions

    1. Put your eggs in a medium sauce pan and cover with water. Place over high heat and boil for 8 to 10 minutes. Carefully pour out the hot water and run cold water over your eggs to cool them quickly. I usually cook my eggs ahead of time and park them in the fridge for a while until I'm ready.
    2. Scissor your bacon into a large skillet over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until you've reached desired crispiness. The crispier the better, in my opinion. Remove bacon to a paper towel lined plate to drain.
    3. Carefully peel each egg, chop them into chunks, and drop them into a medium size mixing bowl.
    4. Add remaining ingredients. Feel free to glance around your spice rack and fridge, adding bits of all the things you love. Stir everything together gently.
    5. Pile your egg salad onto soft bread and be happy.
