What can I use to substitute the mayo? Even the low-fat or FF mayo would make the points in this sky-rocket.

The only thing I can think of is using light or FF mayo and maybe just use egg whites.

1/2 Cup Fat Free Mayo is 1.5 points

The recipe serves 6 , then it is a negligble amount per serving - the mayo adds less that 0.3 points per serving.


ETA: I would use Egg Whites or Egg Substitute instead of the whole egg like the recipe calls for.

I ran it through the recipe builder as 6 servings and it is less than 2 points per serving. 14 total points for the entire dish ...

That's with egg substitute, FF Mayo. I kept the butter as is.
