Ingredients
  

4 large eggs

1 ripe avocado

2 tablespoons mayonnaise

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried dill)

½ teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper, to taste

2 green onions, finely chopped

2-3 tablespoons dill pickles, finely chopped

4 slices whole grain or sourdough bread

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Optional: lettuce leaves for serving

Instructions
 

Boil the Eggs: Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat, cover, and let sit for 10-12 minutes. Transfer to an ice bath to cool. Once cool, peel and chop the eggs.

    Prepare the Avocado Mixture: In a large bowl, mash the ripe avocado with a fork until mostly smooth with some small chunks for texture.

      Combine Ingredients: To the mashed avocado, add the chopped eggs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, chopped dill, garlic powder, salt, pepper, green onions, and dill pickles. Gently mix until everything is well combined but still chunky. Taste and adjust seasoning as desired.

        Assemble the Melts: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Spread the avocado egg salad mixture on each slice of bread. Top generously with shredded cheddar cheese.

          Bake: Place the prepared bread slices on a baking sheet and toast in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling and golden brown.

            Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Optional: Serve on a bed of lettuce leaves for added crunch. Enjoy your delicious Avocado Egg Salad Melts warm!
