Avocado Egg Salad – just scrape

Avocado Egg Salad is incredibly delicious and a great way to use up hard-boiled eggs! This recipe mixes hard-boiled eggs with avocado (no mayo!), garlic powder, and salt and pepper. Make this a quick and easy meal or snack. See notes for optional pads. Makes 1 generous serving or 2 servings for a light snack.

I love egg salad.

But it’s usually quite high in calories, since 2 ounces of mayonnaise contains 386 calories. But swap out the mayo for avocado? Genius. This is a win for non-mayo fans and a bonus! it’s only 91 calories for 2 ounces. And let’s face it, it’s just better for you.

This avocado egg salad is quick and easy to make (have you got hard-boiled eggs yet? You’re one step ahead!) and you combine it all in one bowl, top with toasted bread and top with whatever your heart desires.

And that heart calls for feta, chives and red pepper flakes.

To make Avocado Egg Salad you will need:

• hard boiled eggs – This is my foolproof method for perfectly cooked eggs.
• avocado – Adds creaminess along with vitamins, minerals and omega-3 fatty acids.
• Dijon mustard – Adds flavor and spice.
• kosher salt – Enhances the flavors in this recipe
• freshly ground black pepper – Imparts distinct bite and flavor.
• garlic powder – Adds flavor that’s sweeter yet milder than fresh garlic.
• sourdough – Or any bread of your choice. If smaller, you will need 2 discs.

In a bowl, add 1/2 small avocado (or about 2 to 2.5 ounces), 3 hard-boiled eggs, 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard, pinch of salt, some freshly ground black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder.

Mix and chop until desired consistency is achieved. If you want, you can chop the egg beforehand.

After mixing, add salt or pepper to taste and taste.

Toast your bread and pile the avocado egg salad on top.

You can definitely enjoy this avocado egg salad toast as is, but I love topping mine with crumbled feta, red pepper flakes, and chopped chives.

I love the crunchy sourdough with the creamy avocado egg salad, and the garlic powder is *chefs kiss*. The salty feta with the red pepper flakes adds a touch of spiciness that is so delicious.
