What you’ll love about this recipe?

• It’s a great way to use leftover boiled eggs! If you’re like me, following Easter you may have ended up with more boiled eggs than you know what to do with. Don’t fret; this toast is an excellent way to make use of them.
• It’s stupid simple! The prep/cook time for this recipe clocks in at a mere eight minutes. It’s also incredibly easy to throw together (even if you have to boil the eggs first) and requires very little in the way of kitchen equipment.
• It’s protein-rich and filling! As you probably already know, boiled eggs are rich in protein. Each large egg contains approximately six grams of protein which means that each slice of toast provides you with nearly 1/4 of the daily recommended protein intake. Not only that but it’s super filling, making it great for breakfast, lunch, or even a snack.

• Dill pickles: Baby pickles are the way to go as they are nice and crunchy. However, any type of pickle or even pickle relish will do. And if you prefer, you could even use sweet pickles.
• Mayonnaise
• Dijon mustard: Could sub for yellow mustard.
• Dill: Fresh is the way to go but dried would be fine.
• Lemon juice: Lemon juice brings some brightness and helps balance the flavors.
• Black pepper
• Garlic powder
• Horseradish: The horseradish adds a little bite but since the recipe incorporates only a small amount it is subtle. If you’re not into horseradish or are concerned it will be too spicy, feel free to leave it out.
• Celery salt: If you don’t have any celery salt you may use kosher salt instead.
• Hard-boiled eggs
• Sourdough bread: I love the tang of sourdough and think it pairs well with the deviled egg salad. If, however, there is another type of bread you’d prefer go for it – this could be anything from pumpernickel to an English muffin.
• Kosher salt
• Paprika
• Fresh chives: Totally optional but in my opinion in addition to the paprika chives are the perfect finishing touch.
