Sriracha Bacon Egg Salad Sandwich is the classic you love with a little extra sumthin’. Crunchy and spicy, this recipe might be your new normal when it comes to egg salad.
Even though I don’t usually crave sandwiches, sometimes you just need to make a sandwich. It’s a quick and easy meal option that can be eaten on the go. A requirement most of the time in my life. Sometimes I think my car sees more dining that my actual dining room.
Generally if I’m going to eat a sandwich, I’ll go for either veggie or traditional peanut butter, but I’ve recently discovered a new favorite.
If everything is better with bacon, then everything becomes insanely awesome if you add bacon and Sriracha. Case in point, this egg salad sandwich. I’ll admit I’ve never been much of an egg salad fan, mostly due to my aversion to mayonnaise, but this particular version sounded too good to pass up.
Since the invention of greek yogurt, I’ve found that I can all but eliminate mayonnaise from my life. Anywhere a recipe calls for mayo, I substitute greek yogurt. Thus far, this theory has not led me astray.
Sriracha Bacon Egg Salad Sandwich
Back to the sandwich. Here are all the reasons this sandwich is amazeballs:
1. Bacon
2. Sriracha
3. Eggs
4. Crisp romaine
5. Homemade bread (don’t worry if you don’t have this. It’s still excellent)
Yup, that’s pretty much everything I love in one meal. This sandwich is not only going on regular rotation in the Haley household, I love it so much I want to give it its own room.
Even though I’ve been known to be a TAD hyperbolic at times, you should really trust me on this one. This sandwich will change your life!

I found your website from a recent buzzfeed article, and made these this morning! It worked out great (the house still smells like bacon heaven hours later), and this kept like a dream. I’ve never been a huge fan of egg salad, but the bacon, green onions, and sriracha made for a delicious egg salad I know I’m going to crave. I swapped out the arugula for some cherry tomatoes since it’s what I had, but I’ll have to try the arugula next time. It was super easy, delicious, and healthy, even with all that tasty stuff in there, so thanks for sharing!
