Back in the years of living single & carefree, I had a Summer when I barely had enough money to buy eggs, bread, and a few vegetables. And somehow, I look back on that time as the best time of my single life. Anyhoo.
Remember when I shared the Cheesey Zucchini and Squash recipe and told you that I would eat cheesey zucchini & squash when I grew tired of egg salad sandwiches? Well here's the egg salad sandwich recipe I lived on. I decided to call it Deviled Egg Sandwiches because I flavored the egg salad in the same way I enjoy deviled eggs.
HERE'S ALL IT TAKES
to make 1 Simple Sandwich
- 1 boiled egg, chopped
- 1 to 2 teaspoons yellow onion, finely chopped
- 2 teaspoons mayonnaise
- 1/2 teaspoon spicy mustard
- pinch of salt
- dash of pepper
- 2 slices bread & butter pickles, either on the side or chopped into the filling
- 2 slices of sandwich bread
Mix all the ingredients together, except the bread of course. Spread onto to bread and EAT UP!
One egg can make a pretty thick sandwich. And like a tuna sandwich, it's filling and will hold you a while. It's the perfect budget friendly and still healthy for you meal that takes a while to grow tired of eating. Trust me on this one. 
Just made this today…so yum! Never thought of putting mustard into egg mayo sandwiches before. Thanks!
Hi Kinga! You’re welcome. I like the tangy spice of mustard, using spicy mustard is my favorite. But any mustard, especially if it’s your favorite, should work.
I am considering making this, but i am broke have all the ingredients BUT MUSTARD and only have grey pupua. Can i subsitute that for mustard?
Hi ReBeka!
Did you mean to write that you have dijon mustard on hand? That should work fine, the recipe doesn’t call for much. I never buy yellow mustard. I love spicy brown mustard and used it here in this recipe.
If the dijon seems too sweet, try adding a few drops of mild vinegar to give it a more tangy flavor. But mix the mustard and vinegar first before adding to the egg mixture. You wanna make sure it tastes right to you first.
Just tried this! Great sandwich! I even put in some spices so there would be even more tang! Fantastic recipe Jill!
Thank you, Lilly! It’s my favorite go-to sandwich when I need a light lunch that sticks to my ribs for awhile.
