Ingredients:

- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tsp Chili Crunch Oil
Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Egg Salad Mixture Start by peeling and roughly chopping the hard-boiled eggs. Place them in a mixing bowl.
Step 2: Mash the Avocado Halve the avocado, remove the pit, and scoop out the inside into the same mixing bowl with the eggs. Use a fork to mash the avocado and eggs together until well combined.
Step 3: Add Cottage Cheese Next, add the cottage cheese to the egg and avocado mixture. Cottage cheese adds creaminess and an extra boost of protein. Stir it in gently until everything is evenly incorporated.
Step 4: Season with Salt and Pepper Season the mixture with salt and pepper according to your taste preferences. You can start with a pinch of salt and a few cracks of black pepper, then adjust as needed.
Step 5: Add the Spicy Kick To add a delightful spicy kick to your egg salad, drizzle in the chili crunch oil. The oil will infuse the salad with its flavorful heat. Stir well to distribute the oil throughout the mixture.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy! Scoop the egg salad onto a plate or into a bowl. You can enjoy it as is or pair it with your favorite bread, whole-grain crackers, or even lettuce wraps. This protein-packed breakfast will keep you full and satisfied throughout the morning.
Optional Additions and Variations:
- Feel free to experiment with additional ingredients like diced red onion, chopped herbs (such as parsley or cilantro), or a squeeze of lemon juice to enhance the flavors.
- If you prefer a spicier version, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce.
- For a gluten-free or low-carb option, serve the egg salad on a bed of lettuce or enjoy it wrapped in lettuce leaves.
