High-protein Creamy Jalapeño Egg Salad

Ingredienser

3 hard-boiled eggs

4 hard-boiled egg whites (yolks removed)

1/2–2/3 cup 2% cottage cheese

2 heaping teaspoons Dijon mustard

2–3 tablespoons chopped sweet and spicy OR regular jalapeños (I love the @traderjoes ones!)

Salt and pepper, to taste

1️⃣ Hard boil 7 eggs. Peel them, remove the yolks from 4 of the eggs (save the yolks for another recipe), then roughly chop all of the egg whites and the remaining 3 whole eggs.

Vejledning

Add the cottage cheese, Dijon mustard, chopped jalapeños, salt, and pepper. Continue chopping and mixing everything together until the cottage cheese blends into the eggs and the mixture becomes creamy.

Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Serve on toasted bread, in lettuce wraps, with crackers, or enjoy it straight from the bowl!
