1 Ingredients
| Qty | Item |
|---|---|
| 8 pieces | Large eggs |
| 6 slices | Bacon slices |
| 1 large | Ripe avocado |
| 0.25 cup | Plain Greek yogurt |
| 2 tbsp | Mayonnaise |
| 1 tbsp | Lemon juice |
| 2 tbsp | Fresh chives, chopped |
| 0.5 tsp | Salt |

2 Instructions
Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat, cover, and let sit for 10 minutes. Transfer to an ice bath, peel, and dice.
While eggs cook, fry the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Drain on paper towels and crumble into small bits.
In a medium bowl, mash the avocado with the lemon juice until smooth but with a few small chunks remaining.
Add the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, salt, and pepper to the avocado and stir until well combined.
Gently fold in the diced hard-boiled eggs, crumbled bacon, and chopped chives.
Spoon the egg salad mixture into the center of the lettuce leaves. Garnish with extra chives if desired and serve immediately.
๐ก Tips & Tricks

ยท
To prevent the avocado from browning, ensure you use fresh lemon juice and keep the salad tightly covered if not serving immediately.

ยท
For an even lower-calorie version, replace all mayonnaise with additional Greek yogurt.
