Ingredients
- 6 hard-boiled eggs
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1/2 cup celery diced
- 1/4 cup chives or green onions finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon mustard
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chili flakes for topping
Instructions
- Start by boiling the eggs — about 10 to 12 minutes will give you perfectly hard-boiled eggs. Once they’re done, let them cool slightly, then peel.
- Chop the eggs into small pieces and add them to a large mixing bowl.
- Add the chopped celery, chives, cottage cheese, mustard, and lemon juice.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Gently mix everything together until well combined.
- You can serve it right away, or pop it in the fridge for a bit to let the flavors mingle.
- Just before serving, sprinkle with a few extra chives and a pinch of chili flakes if you like a little kick.
- Enjoy it on its own as a light lunch, spooned onto toast, or tucked into a sandwich.
