Cottage Cheese Egg Salad Sandwich

Here's a healthier,wholesome low fat high protein version of the classic egg salad sandwich.

Ingredients:

4 eggs

2 tbsps diced sweet onion

1/4 cup low fat cottage cheese

2 tsps Dijon or grainy Dijon mustard

2 tsps fresh lemon juice

1 tbsp fresh chopped parsley

1 tbsp fresh chopped chives

salt and pepper to taste

Boil the eggs for 10 minutes then drain and sit them in cold water. Once cooled, peel and cut in half lengthwise. Remove 2 yolks and place in a blender along with the cottage cheese, Dijon and lemon juice. Remove to a bowl and add the diced onion, parsley, chives, salt and pepper. Chop the rest of the eggs and mix all together. Spread on your favourite bread and add spinach or lettuce to complete your sandwich. (I like to make a dent in the filling where I'm going to cut the sandwiches so the filling cuts cleaner). Makes 4 sandwiches or 2 overstuffed ones.
