Why this works
Protein-rich and low in carbohydrate, but the mayonnaise and added salt make it moderately high in fat and sodium.
High-quality protein. Eggs provide complete protein, with around 10 g per serving, which supports satiety and muscle maintenance.
Micronutrients from eggs. Eggs contribute vitamin B12, vitamin D and selenium, while chives add a small amount of vitamin K and beneficial plant compounds.
Sodium consideration. Added salt and mustard can push sodium up slightly, so this is best enjoyed in moderation if watching blood pressure.
Method
- Boil the eggs for 9-10 minutes, then cool under cold water and peel.
- Halve the eggs and scoop out the yolks into a bowl.
- Mash the yolks with mayonnaise, lemon juice and a little salt until smooth.
- Spoon or pipe the filling back into the egg whites and chill until ready to serve.
