Instructions
- Eggs: Use leftover hard-boiled eggs or boil 3 eggs. Place the eggs in a small pot and cover them with water. Bring the water to a boil and cook the eggs for 10 minutes. Rinse them in cold water and let them cool completely.
- Cream cheese: Stir the cream cheese well to make it smooth. Add the spices and a little milk to make the mixture smooth and creamy (Note 2).
- Finely chop the leek (white and green parts) and the eggs. Add them to the bowl.
- Taste and add more seasoning if necessary. Sprinkle with chopped chives or some leftover, finely chopped greens from the leek.
Notes
- The nutrition was calculated using full-fat cream cheese.
- Type of cream cheese: You can use regular block cream cheese or the softer kind from a tube. If you choose the block form, you may need 1-2 tablespoons more milk to soften it and achieve a creamy consistency.
- Leek: I usually buy a large leek and use a piece about as long as my hand, making sure that about half of it is white, while the other half of it is green.
