Ingredients You Need

You won’t need a long grocery list for this. Just grab these simple ingredients:

 6 large eggs
 6 slices of crispy bacon
6 cherry tomatoes (or 1 large tomato, diced)
2 tbsp mayonnaise (or keto-friendly avocado mayo)
¼ tsp garlic powder
¼ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
1 tsp lemon juice (optional, for extra zing)
A handful of fresh lettuce leaves (butter lettuce or romaine work best)
Toothpicks (to hold everything together)

How to Make Keto BLT Egglets

Step 1: Boil the Eggs 🥚

Place your eggs in a pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Once boiling, turn off the heat, cover the pot, and let them sit for 10–12 minutes.

When done, transfer the eggs to an ice bath (a bowl of ice water) for a few minutes. This stops them from overcooking and makes peeling way easier.

Once cooled, peel the eggs and set them aside.

Step 2: Cook the Bacon 🥓

While the eggs are chilling, cook your bacon. Use a skillet over medium heat and cook until crispy, flipping as needed. If you like extra crunch, you can bake them at 400°F (200°C) for 12–15 minutes instead.

Place the crispy bacon on paper towels to drain any excess grease.

Step 3: Prep the BLT Filling 🍅🥬

  • Chop the tomatoes into small pieces.
  • Shred or tear the lettuce into bite-sized pieces.
  • In a small bowl, mix mayo, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. This will be your creamy, flavorful spread.

Step 4: Assemble the Egglets 💕

Now for the fun part!

  1. Slice each hard-boiled egg horizontally in half (like a sandwich bun).
  2. Spread a little of the mayo mixture on the bottom half of each egg.
  3. Add a small piece of lettuce, a tomato slice (or some diced tomatoes), and a piece of crispy bacon.
  4. Place the top half of the egg back on. Secure everything with a toothpick if needed.

💡 Pro Tip: If your egglets keep sliding, slice a tiny bit off the bottom to create a flat base.

Step 5: Serve & Enjoy! 😍

Plate your beautiful Keto BLT Egglets and serve them fresh! These little beauties are best eaten right away, but they can also be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours.

Pair them with a cup of bulletproof coffee for a perfect keto-friendly breakfast, or serve them as a cute appetizer before dinner.

Ways to Make It Extra Special for Valentine’s Day

  • Heart-Shaped Bacon 💕 – Twist the bacon into heart shapes before cooking. Hold them in place with toothpicks while baking.
  • Pink Mayo 🌸 – Mix a tiny bit of beet juice into your mayo for a soft pink color.
  • Plate with Love – Serve your egglets on a pretty platter with a little side salad or avocado slices for a fancy touch.

Make It Your Own

This recipe is flexible! Here are some fun twists you can try:

🔥 Spicy Version: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a few drops of hot sauce to the mayo.
🥑 Avocado BLT Egglets: Add a small slice of avocado for extra creaminess.
🧀 Cheesy Egglets: Sprinkle some shredded cheddar or Parmesan in the filling.
🌿 Herby Twist: Mix in some fresh basil or chives for a flavor boost.

Why This Recipe Works for Keto Lovers

Traditional BLTs use bread, but swapping that out for protein-packed eggs keeps it low-carb and high in healthy fats—exactly what a keto meal should be. Plus, bacon and mayo add just the right amount of richness without overloading on carbs.

Each egglet has about 2g net carbs, making it a perfect snack, breakfast, or light lunch that keeps you full without kicking you out of ketosis.

The Perfect Valentine’s Keto Treat

If you’re looking for a cute, easy, and keto-friendly way to celebrate love, these BLT Egglets are it. They’re simple, flavorful, and just fancy enough to feel like a special treat.

Whether you’re sharing them with a partner or just treating yourself, these little bites of love are worth making. So grab your eggs, crisp up that bacon, and enjoy a Valentine’s Day meal that’s as tasty as it is adorable! ❤️
