Egg spread is not only delicious but also delivers valuable nutrients. This creamy treat is suitable for any time of day, from a hearty breakfast to a light dinner. To achieve the ideal consistency and enrich your spread's flavor, you should add one key ingredient. What is this ingredient, and how can you prepare the best egg spread? You'll find out everything in this article.

Egg spread – a tasty way to a nutritious meal

There's nothing simpler or more universal than egg spread. It's quick to prepare and exceptionally nutritious. With their high protein content and healthy fats, eggs provide an excellent energy source, support the body's regeneration, and supply valuable vitamins like vitamin D and B.

Enriching egg spread with additional ingredients that enhance taste and texture can make it even more nutritious. Cottage cheese is one product that perfectly complements eggs while boosting the dish's nutritional value.

How to make the perfect egg spread? Add cottage cheese

The secret to the creamy texture of egg spread is the addition of cottage cheese. This simple ingredient makes the spread creamier and more delicate. Plus, it's a great option for those looking to reduce the amount of mayonnaise in their diet while watching their weight.

Ingredients needed to prepare egg spread with cottage cheese:

              
  • 8 hard-boiled eggs
  • 3 ounces of low-fat or semi-fat cottage cheese
  • 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon of mustard
  • 1 bunch of fresh chives
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

  1. Peel the hard-boiled eggs and place them in a large bowl. Mash them with a fork into small pieces.
  2. Add the cottage cheese, mayonnaise, and mustard, then mix the ingredients until you achieve a uniform consistency.
  3. Chop the chives and add them to the spread. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and mix thoroughly again.
  4. You can garnish the finished spread with some chives you set aside before mixing.

How to diversify the taste of egg spread?

You can modify the basic recipe for egg spread with cottage cheese by adding various ingredients and spices. Here are a few suggestions:

  • Vegetables: Cucumbers, bell peppers, tomatoes, onions, and fresh herbs like dill, parsley, or basil work perfectly here.
  • Other additions: Consider adding tuna, smoked salmon, olives, capers, or even grated yellow cheese.
  • Spices: In addition to salt and pepper, you can use ingredients like garlic, paprika powder, curry, nutmeg, or allspice.
