These old-fashioned bacon Harrington patties are the kind of simple, hearty party bite that never seems to go out of style. With just three ingredients, they come together quickly and bake into rich, savory little patties with crisp edges and plenty of bacon flavor. They feel right at home on a snack table, holiday tray, or church supper spread, and their naturally low-carb ingredient list makes them just as welcome today as they were decades ago.
Serve these warm on a platter with pickle spears, celery sticks, or a simple crisp salad to balance their richness. They also fit nicely on an appetizer table alongside deviled eggs, olives, and fresh vegetables, and for a casual supper you can pair them with roasted green beans or a cup of tomato soup for something cozy and filling.
Low Carb 3-Ingredient Bacon Harrington Patties
Servings: 18 to 24 small patties
Ingredients
1 pound bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled
2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
2 large eggs, beaten
Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet or shallow baking pan with parchment paper for easier cleanup.
2. Cook the bacon until crisp, then drain it well and crumble it into small pieces.
3. In a medium bowl, mix the crumbled bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, and beaten eggs until everything is evenly combined.
4. Scoop small portions of the mixture and shape them into compact patties, then place them on the prepared pan with a little space between each one.
5. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the patties are deeply golden around the edges and bubbling on top.
6. Let the patties rest for 3 to 5 minutes so they firm up a bit, then transfer to a serving platter and serve warm.
Variations & Tips
For extra crunch: Cook the bacon very crisp before mixing so the finished patties keep a nice texture and hold together better.
For easy shaping: If the mixture feels loose, let it sit for 5 minutes before forming the patties. The cheese and egg will settle together and make the scooping easier.
For picky eaters: Make the patties a little smaller so they bake up as bite-size snacks. Kids and guests often like the smaller appetizer size best.
For a cheese swap: Sharp cheddar gives the most classic flavor, but Colby or a cheddar-monterey jack blend also works if that is what you have on hand.
For cleaner serving: Use a thin spatula to lift the patties from the pan after resting a few minutes. That short cooling time helps the melted cheese set so they come off in one piece.
