Eggamole - a FODMAP friendly spread

The boiled egg is the FODMAP intolerant's friend but it is one of the most boring foods ever.

In my ceaseless search for protein rich and tasty sandwich fillings, I invented this. This spread saw me through many a dark day in the search for a treatment that worked.

Like the Tonnato spread, it goes on sandwiches and dry biscuits, or as an addition to a salad.

Avocadoes are are high in Polyols (the P in FODMAP), but in the serving quantity for this recipe, should be tolerable to most on a low FODMAP diet.

EGGAMOLE

makes 4 servings

INGREDIENTS

  • 4 boiled eggs
  • 1/2 avocado
  • 1-2 teaspoons seeded mustard, or to taste (our favourite is a chilli mustard but go with your preferred flavour profile)
  • splash of lemon juice (to stop discolouration)


METHOD

  • Bung in a blender or mash together with a fork.  I prefer it a bit of texture so usually fork it.

This will last in the fridge for up to a week but it discolours so is best made in small batches.
