Practical Paleo Bacon & Egg Salad

Ingredients:

• 12 eggs
• 1/4 cup Baconnaise
• Sea salt and black pepper to taste
• 12 slices of bacon, chopped
• 2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped (optional)

Directions:

Take eggs out of the refrigerator and allow them to come to room temperature.
Fill a large pot with 8 cups of water and bring it to a boil.

Place the eggs in the boiling water for 10 minutes. Remove the eggs and place them in a large bowl with ice water for 10 minutes. This will keep them from turning green around the yolk.

Peel the eggs, place them in a bowl and mash them with a potato masher or large fork. Mix in the Baconnaise, sea salt, black pepper, chopped bacon, and chopped chives.
