Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 3 tablespoons Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chives, chopped
- 4 pieces whole grain bread slices
- 1 cup baby spinach leaves
- 2 teaspoons butter
Instructions
Place the eggs in a pot and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, cover the pot and remove it from heat. Let the eggs sit in the hot water for 10 minutes.
After 10 minutes, drain the hot water and transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool completely. Once cool, peel the eggs and chop them into small pieces.
In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped eggs, Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Gently fold in the chopped chives into the egg mixture to add a fresh, herby flavor.
Toast the slices of whole grain bread until golden brown and slightly crisp.
Spread a teaspoon of butter on one side of each slice of toasted bread.
Place a layer of baby spinach leaves on two of the buttered bread slices.
Divide the egg mayonnaise mixture evenly between the two spinach-lined slices of bread, spreading it out evenly.
Top the egg mayo mixture with the remaining slices of bread, buttered side down.
Cut each sandwich in half and serve immediately for a delicious, high-protein meal.
