Ingredients

  • 8 organic eggs
  • 1/2 cup Organic or Plant-Based Mayonnaise
  • 2 scallions, very thinly sliced
  • 1 clove of garlic, minced
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 cup torn basil leaves
  • 1/4 cup chopped dill (frons and stems)
  • 1/4 cup chopped parsley (leaves and stems)
  • Pinch of crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
  • Olive oil for drizzling
  • Flaky sea salt
  • 4 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 4 slices sourdough bread, toasted

Instructions

  • Bring a large saucepan filled with salted water to a boil over high heat. Prepare a bowl filled with ice water and set it nearby.
  • Reduce the heat to maintain an active simmer and gently lower the eggs into the water; cook them for 8½ minutes. Immediately transfer the eggs with a slotted spoon to the ice water.
  • When the eggs are cool enough to handle, pat them dry and peel them. Chop the eggs into large pieces and add them to a medium-sized bowl, along with the mayo, scallions, and garlic. Gently toss the eggs to coat in the mayo mixture. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Set aside.
  • In a small bowl, toss the basil, dill, parsley, and red pepper flakes. Add the red wine vinegar, drizzle the mixture with oil, and season with flaky sea salt. Toss to coat.
  • Spread 1 teaspoon of the mustard onto each slice of toasted bread. Spoon the eggs over the bread. Pile the herb mixture on top of the egg toast and serve.
