Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 3 tablespoons reduced-fat mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon wholegrain mustard
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 slices whole grain bread
Instructions
Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
Once the water reaches a boil, cover the saucepan with a lid, remove it from the heat, and let the eggs sit for 9-10 minutes.
After the eggs are cooked, transfer them to a bowl of ice water and let them cool for about 5 minutes.
Peel the eggs and roughly chop them into small pieces.
In a mixing bowl, combine the reduced-fat mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, wholegrain mustard, and lemon juice.
Add the chopped eggs to the bowl, followed by the chives, parsley, salt, and black pepper.
Gently mix until all ingredients are evenly combined, being careful not to mash the eggs too much.
Toast the whole grain bread slices to your liking.
Divide the egg mayo mixture evenly between the slices of toast and spread it out evenly.
Serve immediately, optionally garnish with additional fresh herbs.
