Ingredients

  • 3 hard-boiled eggs
  • 1⅓ cup cream cheese regular fat or low-fat, 300 g, Note 1, 2

  • 2-3 tablespoons milk as needed, also Note 2

  • Fine sea salt and black pepper
  • 1-2 tablespoons chives

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. 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.
  2. 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).
  3. Finely chop the leek (white and green parts) and the eggs. Add them to the bowl.
  4. 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.
