Description

This Cobb egg salad offers a satisfying and flavorful experience, perfect as a light meal or a substantial side dish. The foundation of this salad features tender, hard-boiled eggs, their yolks lending a creamy richness to every bite. These eggs are thoughtfully combined with a medley of complementary ingredients, each adding its unique textural and flavor dimension.

Crispy bacon crumbles introduce a delightful smoky and savory crunch, contrasting beautifully with the softness of the eggs. Juicy cherry tomatoes burst with a refreshing sweetness, their vibrant color adding visual appeal to the dish. Tangy blue cheese provides a sharp and assertive counterpoint to the other flavors, its creamy texture melting seamlessly into the salad.

A dressing of mayonnaise and sour cream binds the ingredients together, creating a cohesive and luscious texture that coats the palate. This flavorful mixture is then artfully arranged atop a bed of crisp romaine lettuce leaves, their refreshing coolness providing a pleasant contrast to the richness of the egg salad. Slices of creamy avocado are added, contributing a smooth and buttery texture that enhances the overall mouthfeel.

Finally, a generous sprinkle of freshly ground black pepper awakens the senses, adding a subtle warmth and complexity to the salad's flavor profile. For the best experience, this salad is best enjoyed fresh, allowing the flavors to meld together harmoniously. While it can be stored in the refrigerator for a day, consuming it promptly ensures the ingredients retain their optimal texture and flavor.

Feel free to customize this salad to your preferences. For a dairy-free variation, consider using additional mayonnaise in place of the sour cream or substituting the blue cheese with a different cheese that suits your dietary needs.

Instructions

    1.
    Preheat an oven to 375 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place strips of bacon on parchment paper, ensuring they touch but do not overlap. Cook for 16-18 minutes, adding a couple more minutes for extra crispiness. Remember that bacon will continue to crisp as it cools, especially with a convection oven.
    2.
    Prepare a large pot of boiling water. Carefully lower the eggs into the boiling water using a slotted spoon. Set a timer for 9 minutes. Once the time is up, drain the hot water and fill the pot with ice and cold water to chill the eggs. Allow the eggs to cool as you prepare the other ingredients.
    3.
    Prepare the remaining ingredients. Slice the cherry tomatoes in half after washing them. Measure out the blue cheese. Peel, pit, and slice the avocado into thin slices. Chop the chives.
    4.
    Cut the lettuce into 1-inch pieces, then wash and spin the lettuce dry.
    5.
    Mix the mayonnaise and sour cream with salt and lemon juice.
    6.
    Peel and slice the hard-boiled eggs into thin slices using a knife or an egg slicer. Alternatively, cut the eggs into quarters if desired.
    7.
    Combine the sliced eggs in a mixing bowl with the halved tomatoes, blue cheese, cooked and crumbled bacon, and half of the chopped chives.
    8.
    Top the egg mixture with the mayonnaise mixture and stir well to combine. Place the lettuce into bowls and top with the cobb egg salad.
    9.
    Top with the remaining chives. Serve immediately.
