Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Large Eggs
- 4 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon Mustard
- 1 teaspoon Fresh Lemon Juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 1 tablespoon Finely Chopped Chives
- 8 large leaves Butter Lettuce Leaves
- 8 pieces Tomato Slices
- 1 sliced Avocado
Instructions
Place the eggs in a medium-sized saucepan and cover them with water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once the water reaches a rolling boil, turn off the heat and cover the saucepan with a lid. 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 filled with ice water. Let them cool for 5 minutes.
Peel the cooled eggs and chop them into small pieces. Place the chopped eggs in a medium bowl.
Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to the eggs and mix until well combined. Stir in the chopped chives.
Arrange two large butter lettuce leaves on a plate to form a sturdy base.
Spoon a quarter of the egg mayo mixture onto the lettuce leaves, spreading it evenly.
Top the egg mayo with two tomato slices and a few avocado slices.
Repeat the layers for the remaining three servings.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours if you prefer a colder dish.
