Ingredients
- 6 egg large, hard-boiled
- ¾ cup cottage cheese low fat
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 2-3 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons shallot minced, can substitute chives or green onions
- ¼ teaspoon dill dried or 1-2 tablespoon fresh
- Pinch salt
- Pinch black pepper
- avocado sliced
Optional for serving:
- sourdough bread toasted, sliced avocado; Everything but the Bagel seasoning and Chili Crisp used as seasonings
- whole grain bread
- avocado
- everything but the bagel seasoning
- chili crisp
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.
