Instructions

Peel the hard-boiled eggs and chop them. Place the chopped eggs in a large mixing bowl.
Add the cottage cheese, mayonnaise, mustard, lemon juice, shallots, dill, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Mix it all together until smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Enjoy the egg salad on a slice of toasted bread or use it in sandwiches, lettuce wraps, or salads. I like to serve the egg salad on a piece of toasted sourdough or whole grain bread with avocado slices and top it with Everything but the Bagel seasoning or Chili Crisp.

Notes

food processor
blender
Everything but the Bagel Seasoning
Chili Crunch
If you don't like the texture of cottage cheese, you can blend it in a food processor or blender before mixing it with the eggs. This will give the egg salad a smoother texture.
If you want some crunch, you can stir diced celery or pickle relish into the egg salad for extra texture.
For a flavor boost, you can add a dash of smoked paprika or some diced jalapeños to the egg salad. I like to top it with a sprinkle of Everything but the Bagel Seasoning or a drizzle of Chili Crunch.
Store any leftover cottage cheese egg salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
