1Start with a medium avocado. Cut it in half, scoop out the middle and toss the seed away.
2Boil 4 medium eggs for about 9 minutes. Remove from fridge, toss in boiling water for 9 minutes and 20 seconds. Rinse under cold water and peel. Cut in half and add to the cutting board with the avocado.
3Add 1 sliced dill pickle (about 1/4 cup), 1 small shallot, 1 to 2 tbsp German or brown mustard, 1 to 2 heaping tbsp cottage cheese, a small handful of fresh dill and cilantro, 1 tbsp mayo, a pinch of salt and pepper.
4Chop everything with a knife. For a chunkier salad, chop less; for a creamier one, chop more. Taste and adjust as needed.
5Place the chopped egg salad into romaine lettuce leaves. Top with everything bagel and chili lime seasoning.
