Description

A twist on a classic! Creamy egg salad meets melty cheese in this satisfying grilled cheese.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 Hardboiled eggs (chopped)
  • 3 tbsp Plain Greek yogurt (2% or more)
  • 1 tbsp (15 ml) Green onion (sliced)
  • 1/2 tsp Onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp Smoked paprika
  • 1/4 tsp Garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp (15 ml) Butter (room temp)
  • 4 slices Bread
  • 2 oz (57 g) Cheddar
  • Salt and pepper

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, mix the eggs, Greek yogurt, green onion, onion powder, smoked paprika, and garlic powder. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  2. Rub one side of all the bread slices with butter (3/4 tsp per slice). Heat a griddle on medium/low heat.
  3. Lay all the bread slices, butter side down, on the heated griddle, placing sliced cheese over two of the bread slices (1 oz of cheese per slice).
  4. Cook until the cheese begins to melt and the underside of each slice of bread is lightly golden and crispy, about 3-6 minutes.
  5. Transfer the slices to a plate, and divide the egg salad mixture evenly between the slices of bread with the melted cheese. Top with the remaining plain bread.

Notes

  • For optimal creaminess, mash the hard-boiled eggs slightly before mixing with the yogurt.
  • If you don’t have a griddle, use a large non-stick skillet over medium-low heat.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days; reheat gently in a pan or microwave.
