Bacon Avocado Cheesy Bites

This single-serving keto breakfast tackles the morning time crunch with protein-rich sliders that'll keep you full till lunchtime. The mix of smooth avocado, crunchy bacon and tangy cheddar tucked between egg pieces makes a grab-and-go, clean breakfast that works just as well for fancy brunches as it does for weekly meal planning.

I first whipped these up when I had friends over for brunch who all ate differently. They were gone in minutes - faster than anything else I served! Now they're my go-to when guests stay at our place overnight.

Ingredients

• Hard boiled eggs: They're the main part of our sliders giving you plenty of protein
• Cheddar cheese: Slim slices that get a bit melty when put on warm eggs
• Bacon: Gives you that can't-resist savory crunch that goes so well with soft egg
• Avocado: Makes a smooth spread that keeps everything in place
• Lime juice: Adds a fresh zip and keeps avocado from turning brown
• Cumin: Brings a nice warm flavor that makes the whole slider taste better

Easy How-To Steps

Mix The Avocado Spread:

Throw avocado, lime juice, and cumin in a food processor and mix until smooth. This tasty paste helps your sliders stay together while adding good fats.

Cut The Eggs:

Slice each hard-boiled egg down the middle with a good knife. A nice clean cut helps your sliders fit together well. If your eggs are still a bit warm, the cheese will start to soften when you add it.

Start Building From The Bottom:

Put thin cheddar pieces on the bottom half of each egg. The egg's warmth will soften the cheese just right so it sticks without getting too melty.

Layer On The Bacon:

Put half a bacon slice over the cheese. Break the bacon to match the egg shape so it doesn't hang out and every bite tastes just right.

Add Some Avocado:

Drop a small bit of avocado mix on top of the bacon. Use enough for flavor but not so much that it squishes out when you close it up.

Finish Your Slider:

Put the other egg half on top, making a tiny sandwich. The rounded sides should face out to look like a real slider.

Hold It Together:

Stick a toothpick through the middle to keep everything in place. This makes them easy to grab and eat without falling apart.

Pin it

The bacon really makes all the difference in this recipe. I tried making them without it once and while they weren't bad, they missed that satisfying crunch that makes you want another bite. My husband now tells everyone that bacon is the only breakfast meat allowed in our kitchen after trying these sliders.

Prep Ahead Power

These sliders work great for busy weeks. You can boil a bunch of eggs at the start of your week, make the avocado mix with extra lime juice to keep it fresh, and put together new sliders each morning in just a few minutes. I usually make a full batch on Sunday evenings when I know I've got a crazy week coming up.

Smart Swaps

The basic idea works great with changes too. Try pepper jack instead of cheddar for some heat, or go with Swiss for something milder. You can jazz up the avocado spread with fresh herbs like cilantro or dill. If you don't eat pork, turkey bacon makes a tasty option with fewer calories but still gives you that important crunch.

Serving Ideas

Though they're great by themselves, these sliders go really well with simple sides for a full meal. A small handful of berries or a little green salad adds freshness without many carbs. For friends who aren't doing keto, add some sweet potato hash or whole wheat toast. I often enjoy these with coffee that has a splash of heavy cream and cinnamon for a complete keto-friendly breakfast.

These sliders have that perfect mix of easy, healthy, and tasty. Once you've tried them, they'll become your go-to breakfast at home!
