Servings: 5

Best Season: Suitable throughout the year, Summer

Ingredients

7 eggs (large, organic)
1/4 cup Greek yogurt (plain; I prefer full-fat for best texture)
1 tbsp chives (fresh, chopped)
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
1/2 tsp black pepper
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp dill (dried)
1/4 lemon (just a squeeze of lemon juice)
1 lemon (zest of 1 lemon)
Paprika (for topping)
Old Country Bread Masters Pockets (You can fill 4-5 bread pockets with this mixture, depending on how much you want to stuff them!)

Instructions

1
Hard Boil the Eggs: Place the eggs in a single layer in a pot and cover with cold water. Bring the water to a boil. Once boiling, turn off the heat, cover, and let the eggs sit for 15 minutes. Immediately transfer the eggs to an ice bath to cool, then peel.
2
Prep the Eggs: Slice each egg in half and carefully remove the yolks. Chop the egg whites into small pieces and set aside.
3
Make the Egg Salad: In a mixing bowl, combine the egg yolks, Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, black pepper, salt, dill, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Mash everything together until smooth and creamy.
4
Fold and Chill: Gently fold in the chopped egg whites and fresh chives until well mixed. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors develop.
5
Assemble the Bread Pockets: Fill each Bread Masters Old Country Pocket with the chilled egg salad mixture. Sprinkle the tops with paprika for color and a little extra flavor.
