Instructions
1
Prep
Bring a small saucepan of water to a boil over high heat and set a bowl of ice water nearby for cooling the eggs.
2
Boil
Lower the four eggs into boiling water and cook at a steady boil for 10 minutes until yolks are fully set with no translucent center.
3
Cool
Transfer eggs to ice water and let sit five minutes until cool enough to handle, then peel under running water.
4
Chill
Chop the peeled eggs into rough chunks. Fold together eggs, cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, edamame, scallion, salt, white pepper and rice vinegar until evenly coated.
5
Chill
Rest the egg salad in the refrigerator for five minutes until the dressing firms up.
6
Build
Trim crusts from both bread slices, spread egg salad in an even layer on one slice right to the edges.
7
Press
Top with the second bread slice, press down gently to compact the layers, then slice on the diagonal.
8
Plate
Place sandwich halves cut-side up on a plate and serve immediately.
