As always, enjoy! I was surprised at how filling and simply delicious these are. My fiance couldn't stop eating them, even when he claimed he was too full to keep eating. These are really quick, which was convenient since I only had an hour between classes. I think the entire thing took me about 20 minutes. So if you're looking for something quick, easy, and delicious this is the recipe to go to.

Sunday Egg Salad Sandwiches

Because my family makes these on lazy sunday afternoons for a quick and filling lunch, I figured naming it after the day was appropriate. These are super easy and the entire recipe is to taste!

Ingredients

2 eggs

Mustard

Onion powder

Paprika

Salt

Pepper

Pickles (optional)

Boil eggs for about 10-15 minutes (or until the shells start to crack)

Add mustard, paprika, salt, pepper, and onion powder

Mash the eggs until relatively smooth. Taste to make sure it has the flavor you want. If not,
add more of the spices (if the mustard is too overwhelming but the mix is still too dry, add a spoonful
of mayonaise. 

If you decide you want the pickles,  chop into small pieces and stir into the egg mixture.

Place egg mixture onto toasted bread (I used whole wheat honey bread).

As always, enjoy!
