Notes
- Using a Dash egg cooker? Cook in two batches, about 12 minutes each on the hard-boiled setting — roughly 24 minutes total. Times may vary by cooker.
- Egg slicer trick: slice the eggs once, turn 90°, and slice again to dice them — no mashing required.
- If the cottage cheese mixture blends up thicker than you'd like, add a bit of mayonnaise to loosen it.
- Portion into five 1/2-cup glass containers, or store in any airtight container. Keeps in the refrigerator for 3-5 days.
