Method

Boil eggs¹ for 9–10 minutes, cool in cold water, and peel.
Chop eggs¹ into small cubes.
Finely chop green² onions and dill⁴.
Mix eggs¹, greens², sour³ cream, salt, and pepper.
Serve immediately or chill for 10 minutes for a firmer texture.

Tips

Why it works: Dice the eggs so the sour cream soaks into every piece and the salad doesn't fall apart.
Substitutions: Replace the green onion with 10 g of onion cut into thin strips, or 15 g of parsley. Instead of 15% sour cream, you can use 20 g of plain yogurt, but the texture will be less creamy.
Common mistakes: If you boil the eggs for less than 9 minutes, they stay runny inside. Check: the white should be firm and the yolk slightly set.
Storing and reheating: Keep in the fridge for up to 2 days. Stir before serving and add 5 g of sour cream to bring back the creaminess.
Serve with: Serve with pieces of black bread or as a starter with a light meatless borscht.
