Follow The Directions

01

Step

Gently place eggs in a saucepan and cover completely with cold water. Bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, then immediately remove from heat. Cover the pot and let the eggs stand in the hot water for precisely 15 minutes. (15 minutes)

02

Step

After 15 minutes, carefully transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Let them cool completely, about 10 minutes. (10 minutes)

03

Step

Once cooled, peel the eggs. Discard the yolk from one egg. Chop the remaining yolk and both egg whites into a coarse dice, maintaining some texture. Place in a medium bowl.

04

Step

Add the Greek yogurt and Dijon mustard to the bowl with the eggs. Mix gently until well combined.

05

Step

Incorporate the diced cherry tomatoes and fresh chives into the mixture. Stir in the lemon juice. Season generously with fresh dill, garlic powder, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper to your liking.

06

Step

Spread the prepared egg salad evenly onto one slice of toasted whole grain bread.

07

Step

Top with fresh baby spinach leaves. Place the second slice of toasted bread on top to form a sandwich. Serve immediately.

For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of smoked paprika or a dash of hot sauce to the egg salad.
Feel free to substitute other fresh herbs like parsley or tarragon for the dill.
If you prefer a smoother egg salad, mash the egg yolks with a fork before adding the other ingredients.
Toasting the bread is highly recommended; it adds a crucial structural integrity to the sandwich, preventing it from becoming soggy.
This egg salad is best enjoyed fresh, but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
