Ingredients
- 4 pieces Large eggs
- 2 pieces Ripe avocados
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Green onions, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 slices Whole grain bread (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Place the eggs in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, cover the saucepan and remove it from the heat. Let the eggs sit for 9 minutes for firm yolks.
Step 2
Transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool for about 5 minutes. Peel the eggs and chop them into small pieces.
Step 3
While the eggs are cooling, halve the avocados, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl. Mash the avocado with a fork until mostly smooth, leaving a few small chunks.
Step 4
Add the lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and Greek yogurt to the mashed avocado. Stir until well combined.
Step 5
Fold in the chopped eggs, green onions, and parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting the flavors as needed.
Step 6
Serve the avocado egg salad on its own or spoon onto slices of whole grain bread for a hearty toast.
Step 7
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
