Step-by-Step Instructions
- Start by placing the eggs in a medium saucepan and covering them with cold water, about an inch above the eggs. Turn the heat to high and bring the water to a rolling boil. Once boiling, cover the saucepan, remove it from the heat, and let the eggs sit for 12 minutes.
- Once the eggs have finished cooking, carefully transfer them to a large bowl filled with ice water using a slotted spoon. Allow the eggs to sit in the icy bath for at least 15 minutes.
- After the eggs have cooled, tap them gently on the counter to crack the shells, and peel them under running water for optimal ease. Once peeled, chop the eggs into 1/4-inch pieces.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the creamy mayonnaise, softened butter, and rendered bacon fat. Using a whisk, mix these ingredients until smooth and slightly fluffy.
- Gently fold the chopped eggs into the creamy fat mixture, ensuring each piece is evenly coated. Add fine sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Transfer the combined salad into an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.

Notes
Choose pasture-raised eggs for best flavor. Allow at least 2 hours for flavors to meld, enhancing taste. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days.
