Ingredients

  • 5 egg hard boiled
  • 1 Tablespoon yellow mustard
  • 3 ounces Greek yogurt (85 g)
  • 7 ounces cream cheese (200 g)
  • ⅛ teaspoon black pepper ground
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Boil 5 eggs in advance. Once cooled, peel and halve them. Remove the yolks and place them in a bowl.
  2. Chop the egg whites. The size of the pieces affects the texture of the egg salad; the finer the egg whites are chopped, the smoother the final salad will be.
  3. Add 1 Tablespoon yellow mustard, 7 ounces cream cheese, and 3 ounces Greek yogurt to the yolks. Mash everything with a fork until smooth.
  4. Fold in the chopped egg whites, then add ½ teaspoon salt and ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper, adjusting to taste as needed. Stir well, and you are done!

Notes

  • The basic recipe makes about 3 portions.
  • Let the egg salad sit for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to blend.
  • In the Czech Republic, we love spreading egg salad on a slice of rye bread and garnishing it with some greens.
  • The taste of this salad is delicious but mild. For added crunch, mix in some finely chopped onion.
