Cucumber boats with egg salad and skyr
Crunchy cucumber boats filled with a creamy skyr-based egg salad instead of mayo. 20 g protein and just 6 g carbs per serving, no oven needed.
Ingredients
- ½cucumber(about 300 g, quartered)
- 2egg
- 50 gSkyr
- ½ tspmedium-hot mustard
- 5 gchives(finely sliced)
- ½ pinchsweet paprika
Instructions
- 1
Place the 2 egg in a pot of cold water, bring to a boil and hard-cook for 9 minutes from the moment it bubbles. Plunge straight into ice water afterwards so the shells slip off easily.
- 2
Quarter the ½ cucumber lengthways and scrape out the soft seeds with a teaspoon so you get little boats. Pat the grooves dry with kitchen paper.
- 3
Roughly dice the peeled eggs and fold them in a bowl with the 50 g Skyr and ½ tsp medium-hot mustard. Do not mash too finely, a few chunks give the salad some bite.
- 4
Fold in half of the 5 g chives and season generously with salt and pepper.
- 5
Spoon the egg salad into the cucumber boats, scatter with the remaining 5 g chives and a pinch of ½ pinch sweet paprika. Best served fresh.

Frequently asked
Why skyr instead of mayonnaise?
Skyr binds the egg salad just as creamily but carries far less fat and adds extra protein. That keeps the snack light and fits neatly into a low-carb approach.
How long does the egg salad keep?
The egg salad itself keeps for about a day covered in the fridge. Fill the cucumber boats just before serving, otherwise the cucumber releases water and thins everything out.
Can I take the boats for meal prep?
Yes, transport the egg salad and cucumber separately and assemble on the spot. That keeps the boats crunchy and the salad creamy rather than watery.
