Time 15m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 small eggs
1 1/2 tablespoons light cream cheese
1/4-1/2 teaspoon dried dill weed (use as much as you like, this comes down to personal preference)
1 sun-dried tomato, chopped (not the oil-packed kind)
salt and black pepper

Steps:

  • Place eggs in cold water in a pot. The eggs should just be covered by the water. Bring to a boil and let simmer for 10 minutes. Drain and rinse eggs with cold water for a minute or so (this makes peeling easier).
  • Peel the eggs and place in a bowl with the cream cheese. Mash using a fork until your egg salad has reached the consistency you prefer. I like to leave some larger chunks.
  • Add the dill, salt and pepper and sun-dried tomato pieces.
  • Mix and enjoy.
