Ingredients
- 2 hard boiled eggs, roughly chopped
- 3 Tbsp 2% plain Greek Yogurt
- 1 1/2 Tbsp green onion sliced
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/4 tsp smoked paprika or regular
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- Salt/Pepper to taste
- 1 Tbsp room temperature butter
- 4 Slices bread, of choice (I used GF pumpernickel)
- 2 Oz cheddar cheese, sliced
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, mix the eggs, Greek yogurt, green onion, onion powder, smoked paprika and garlic powder. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Rub one side of all the slices of bread with butter (3/4 tsp per slice.) Additionally, heat a griddle on medium/low heat.
- Lay all the slices of bread, butter side down on the heated griddle, placing sliced cheese over two of the bread slices (1 oz of cheese per slice)
- Cook until the cheese begins to melt and the underside of each slice of bread is lightly golden and crispy, about 3-6 minutes.
- Transfer the slices to a plate, and divide the egg salad mixture evenly between the slices of bread with the melted cheese. Top with remaining, plain bread.
- DEVOUR.
