Ingredients

For the filling

• 6 eggs, hard boiled, cooled
• 80 mL (⅓ cup) cottage cheese
• 30 mL (2 tablespoons) mayonnaise
• 2 green onions, chopped (optional)
• Salt and pepper

For the sandwiches

• 6 slices of whole grain bread
• A few lettuce leaves

Note: Check this tutorial on how to cook your hard-boiled eggs to perfection.

Preparation

1. In a bowl, mash the eggs with a fork.
2. Add the other "topping" ingredients and mix well.
3. Spread ⅓ of the filling on a slice of bread, add a lettuce leaf and close the sandwich with a second slice of bread. Repeat for the remaining two sandwiches.

The filling can be prepared ahead of time and the sandwiches can be assembled just before serving.
