Description
Make Keto Sliders with Bacon Egg and Cheese — low-carb, protein-packed breakfast sliders that are satisfying and delicious.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 large eggs
- 6 slices cheddar cheese
- 3 slices bacon
- ½ medium ripe avocado
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ teaspoon lime juice
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Cook the bacon
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the 3 bacon slices until crisp (or your preferred doneness).
- Remove and drain on paper towels. Once cooled slightly, break or cut each slice into halves (so you have six pieces).
- Prepare the avocado spread
- In a small bowl, mash the half avocado. Add the lime juice, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth or slightly chunky, depending on your preference.
- This spread adds creaminess and helps “glue” the slider layers.
- Cook egg “bun” layers
You will use eggs as your “buns” in this slider format.- In a nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over medium heat.
- Crack two eggs into the skillet side by side (or one at a time, depending on your pan size). Season lightly with salt and pepper. Let them cook until the whites are fully set but the yolks still a bit soft. If you like firm yolks, cook a little longer or flip gently (over‑easy).
- Using a spatula, remove the eggs carefully onto a plate.
- Repeat for the remaining 4 eggs with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, making three pairs of eggs total—each pair will become the top and bottom bun of a slider.
- Assemble the sliders
- Take one egg “bun” (one of the pair) and lay one slice of cheddar cheese on it.
- Next, place one half‑bacon piece on top of the cheese.
- Add a spoonful of the avocado spread.
- Finally, cap it with the second egg from the pair. The egg on the bottom acts as the “bottom bun,” and the top egg completes the slider.
- Repeat this assembly process for the other two slider “sets.”
- Optional melt step
- If you prefer, you can place the assembled sliders back in a warm oven (about 300‑325 °F / 150‑160 °C) for 3–5 minutes or back into the skillet (covered) just long enough to let the cheese fully melt and ingredients meld.
- Serve immediately
- Serve hot. These sliders are best enjoyed right away, while the cheese is melty and the eggs warm.
Notes
Use a nonstick skillet to reduce the chance of breaking eggs when flipping or lifting.
You can cook the eggs according to your yolk preference (runny, medium, or firm); just be consistent so sliders hold.
The avocado spread adds flavor and helps keep the layers from sliding.
Because these are slider-style, you’ll want to eat them relatively soon after assembly to avoid sogginess.
