Notes

Cooking Total Time note

The total time includes the estimated time to make hard boiled eggs, cook the bacon, toast the baguette slices and assemble the egg salad appetizer. Times may change based on cooking methods used.

Weight Watchers note

If you track this recipe in your Weight Watchers tracker you'll notice the bread says 3 slices. The weight of a slice of this type of baguette is equivalent to 6 ½-inch slices of crostini bread. So the end total is correct even though the description is misleading. Same with the bacon (the amount should equal the quantity required).
