    I made this saturday and loved it. But, I'm not sure how many servings it makes? I'm guessing 2?? Did I miss that info? or can someone give me an idea?

    I was really pleasantly surprised with how great this tasted! I did not add the mustard, but it tasted great without it! I did add some pepper.

    I own a restaurant . and am a Big Foodie- my husband is a Chef I made this yesterday and it was delicious. No one believed it had no mayo in it I could see this as faux deviled eggs Bravo!

    How many does this recipe serve?
  • From: sarahcooley about 5 months ago

    I made this today - tastes AMAZING! For us it served two, these were pretty packed sandwiches though! Could probably serve three, but not much more.

    I love love love this. I used plain yogurt instead of milk. I put the cottage cheese, yogurt and eggs in a food processor and then stirred everything else in. Used the no salt cottage cheese so it brought the sodium down a bit and by my calculations this is 2 servings.

    I made this today for lunch, but I doubled it so I would have enough to feed the whole family. It was amazing!! I added some pepper to it and we ate it wrapped in whole wheat tortillas. It is a little runny though, so maybe use less milk.

    I just made this but used a dry low fat cottage cheese with only 125 mg of salt per 1/4 cup so it brought the sodium way down. I also deleted the mustard and put it in a wrap with arugula (adds a peppery taste without the pepper) and pea shoots. It was delicious and filling! I will definitely make this again.

    Is the calories with the bread or with out? 170 seems low with two pieces of bread.
  • From: KimClosson about 4 months ago

    Ahh.. I think the calorie count is for 1 cup of egg salad which is one serving. The bread is extra caloires.

    This recipe ROCKS! You do not miss the mayo at all. I skipped the curry powder, and added a dash of rice vinegar, which gave it a nice mayo-like flavor. I bet you could use the cottage-cheese mixture for almost anything mayonaise-based, like maybe potato salad??
  • From: limor_magic about 2 months ago

    I made this yesterday and halved the ready mix to use as 2 servings. As soon as I made it, I ate the first serving - it was awesome. I refregirated the rest and the next day everything was in liquid because of the whey in the cottage cheese. Nonethless, it was delicious and best of all - it managed to keep me really balanced and my blood-sugar was as steady as can be (= no hunger pangs all day long).

    Thanks for sharing. I'll make it tomorrow. I love egg salad but wasn't sure how to make it really clean. Thanks.

    This sounds good...new this week to eating clean
  • From: ahillinfantry about 1 month ago

    My husband loves egg salad... cant wait to try this one out for him!
  • From: Tamara about 1 month ago

    First time exploring this web-site.. Love to cook........Egg salad is one of my families favorites, but not very healthy....Can't wait to try for lunch tomorrow.
  • From: Micheleg59 about 1 month ago

    I loved this recipe. I never would have known that there was no mayo in it if I hadn't made it myself. I added pepper as well. On the down side, I felt it was a bit time consuming for only two sandwiches. I would like to experiment to see If I can speed it up somehow. Any ideas?
  • From: Micheleg59 about 1 month ago

    Just got a call from my husband on his way home from work. He did not eat his egg-salad-sandwich because it was all soggy. Anyone have this problem when you've packed it in a lunch? It was properly refrigerated all day.
  • From: leeannefitzy about 3 weeks ago

    Does anyone know if there is a non-dairy option for egg salad? I love the sounds of this recipe but can't eat it this way...thanks!
  • From: cluana about 3 weeks ago

    Great recipe if you prepare and eat right away. I made it last night in preparation for my lunch today and it was watery and not so good. Will make it again, but like I said, I'll eat it right away.
  • From: sbyoung about 1 week ago

    Love this recipe! I made this at a family reunion (converted the recipe to feed 25 people) and everyone loved it! This is one of my go-to recipes for lunch.
