Ingredients:
- 4 large pasteurized eggs
- 1/4 cup plain full-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 tbsp pasteurized avocado oil mayo
- 1 rib celery, finely diced (approx. 30g)
- 1 tbsp red onion, minced
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 1/4 tsp cracked black pepper
- 1 tbsp fresh chives or dill, minced
- 4 slices sprouted grain or whole wheat bread
- 1 cup fresh baby spinach, triple-washed
- 1/2 English cucumber, thinly sliced
Instructions:
- Place eggs in a single layer in a medium saucepan and cover with 1 inch of cold water. Bring to a rolling boil.
- Immediately turn off the heat, cover the pan, and let the eggs sit for exactly 12 minutes to ensure yolks are fully set and food-safe.
- Transfer eggs immediately to a large bowl filled with ice and water. Let sit for 5 minutes to shock and prevent overcooking.
- Peel the eggs under cool running water and pat dry. Finely chop or mash with a fork in a medium mixing bowl.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, pasteurized mayo, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice until smooth.
- Fold the creamy binder, diced celery, minced red onion, and herbs into the mashed eggs. Season with salt and pepper.
- Toast the sprouted grain bread. Layer with baby spinach and sliced cucumbers, then scoop the egg salad mixture onto the slices to assemble the sandwiches.
