Easy Egg Salad With Cream Cheese

Submitted by Lalaloula

"I came up with this egg salad recipe when wanting a light something to add to my dinner. It is great for veggie dipping and I imagine would make a nice sandwhich spread, too. I hope you enjoy!"

 

• Ready In: 15mins
• Ingredients: 5
• Serves: 1

ingredients

• 2 small eggs
• 22.18 ml light cream cheese
• 1.23-2.46 ml 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

directions

1. 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).
2. 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.
3. Add the dill, salt and pepper and sun-dried tomato pieces.
4. Mix and enjoy.

We have an abundance of fresh eggs from our chickens, so I decided to make this egg salad for lunch. At first I made as directed except I used fresh tomato in place of the sun dried because of personal preference. After trying a bite I added more dill. I still felt it was a little to bland, so I added roughly one tsp. of prepared mustard to the mixture. My kids really enjoyed this egg salad over the typical mayonnaise based variety. Thanks for posting Lalaloula. Made and reviewed for the 61st AUSSIE/NZ Recipe Swap.

This was made using 2 large eggs. It was served on a split toasted bagel and made a delicious breakfast. Made for Aussie Swap.

As usual, we enjoyed a Lalaloula recipe! I felt like having sandwiches for supper tonight and this was one of our fillings. It's really good and we liked the sun-dried tomatoes. I used about half low fat mayo so the cream cheese wouldn't be too rich on a sandwich. Made for Went To The Market tag game. Thanks Lalaloula! :)

I more or less eyeballed the ingredients, using some whipped cream cheese, which made it easy to mix together. I would snip the dried tomato into smaller bits next time, and maybe add a tiny bit of dijon, but otherwise this made a very tasty sandwich.

I tried this first by itself, and then decided to put it on whole wheatberry bread. I added no fat mayo and some spicy brown mustard. Took a bite, and decided I needed to add some dill pickles too....also added some lettuce to the mix. I enjoyed this, and it had a unique taste. Used cherry tomatoes diced up because I didn't have any sun-dried, and have never been a big fan of them. This is a nice change to my usual egg salad. Thanks for sharing!
