Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 60 grams low-fat plain yogurt
- 30 grams light mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives
Instructions
Place the eggs in a medium saucepan and cover with water by about 1 inch. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once boiling, remove the saucepan from the heat, cover, and let the eggs sit for 10 minutes.
After 10 minutes, transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool for about 5 minutes or until they can be handled comfortably. This stops further cooking.
Peel the eggs and place them in a medium mixing bowl. Use a fork to mash the eggs to your desired consistency.
Add the low-fat plain yogurt, light mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to the bowl with the eggs.
Mix everything together until well combined and creamy.
Stir in the chopped fresh chives, reserving a little for garnish.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. You may add more salt or pepper depending on your preference.
Chill the egg mayo in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to enhance the flavors.
Serve the low-fat egg mayo with whole grain bread or as a salad topping. Garnish with the reserved chives before serving.
