Boil the eggs for 9 minutes, cool in cold water, and peel.
Dice the gherkins small and drain off excess pickle brine.
Mash the egg yolks with yogurt, mustard, olive oil, and black pepper.
Dice the egg whites and fold them into the sauce with the gherkins and dill.
Adjust the salt according to the pickles and serve cold on toast or lettuce leaves.
Chill the egg mixture for 8 minutes so the gherkin salt balances into the sauce.
Refresh the dill before serving so its green aroma softens the egg smell.
💡 Tip: Boiling the eggs for 9 minutes leaves a firm but lively yolk center.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Spread the egg salad on a cold plate, sprinkle with dill, and serve with lettuce leaves or toast.
