Step-by-Step Instructions
- Place the large eggs in a medium saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a full boil over medium-high heat, then turn off the heat, cover the pot, and let them sit for 7-8 minutes.
- Once the eggs are done, strain the hot water and transfer them to a bowl filled with very cold water. Let them cool for about 2 minutes, then peel them under running water.
- On a cutting board, halve the eggs. Remove the yolks from four of the eggs and mash them with cottage cheese, mayonnaise, and Dijon mustard in a mixing bowl.
- Add chopped egg whites, additional cottage cheese, finely chopped scallions, salt, black pepper, and most of the red pepper flakes to the yolk mixture. Stir until well combined.
- Transfer the mixture to an airtight container and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- Before serving, stir the salad and adjust the seasoning. Sprinkle remaining red pepper flakes on top and serve on lettuce wraps or low-carb bread.
