Why This Meal Is A Winner
This spread is creamy, flavorful, and easy to make. It turns simple ingredients into a tasty addition that brightens up any sandwich. It’s perfect for quick meals and snacks.
Step 1
Place the eggs in a medium saucepan and covering them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil, then take the pan off the heat right away. Let the eggs sit in the hot water, covered, for about 10 to 12 minutes. Once they’re done, drain the water, cool the eggs under cold running water, and peel them.
Step 2
Put the peeled eggs, bologna, and sweet pickles into a food processor. Pulse everything until it reaches a smooth, spreadable texture. Transfer this mixture to a bowl and stir in some mayonnaise, adding more if you need to get a nice, creamy consistency. Cover the bowl and pop it in the fridge to chill before you’re ready to serve.

Can I use something other than mayonnaise?
You can substitute mayonnaise with Greek yogurt or cream cheese for a different flavor.
Do the eggs need to be fully hard-boiled?
Yes, hard-boiled eggs are best to achieve the right texture for the spread.
Is it necessary to chill the spread before serving?
Chilling helps the flavors meld and improves the texture, so it’s recommended.
