Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Eggs: Large eggs are the star here! They become the “buns” for our sliders. You can use medium eggs if that’s what you have, but the size may affect their structure.
Bacon: Crispy cooked bacon is a must for that savory crunch. Turkey bacon can be a leaner alternative, giving you that protein without the extra fat.
Cheddar Cheese: I love sharp cheddar for its bold flavor. If you prefer something milder, go for Monterey Jack or even mozzarella for a gooey melt!
Avocado: Ripe avocado is creamy and adds a nice texture. If avocados arenāt available, you can use a little cream cheese or guacamole as a substitute.
How Do You Make Perfect Hard-Boiled Eggs?
Hard-boiled eggs need just the right touch to get that perfect texture! Hereās how to do it right:
- Start with eggs in cold water, as this helps prevent cracking.
- As soon as the water boils, turn off the heat to avoid overcooking.
- Let them sit covered for 12 minutes for easy peeling!
Cooling them in ice water right after cooking helps stop the cooking process and makes peeling easier. Trust me, this step is key for perfect sliders!
