Canadian Style Cheddar Egg Sandwich
This Canadian-inspired egg sandwich is a crowd favorite in my family, particularly adored by my daughter who often enjoys two in one sitting. The sandwich features a unique Schneider October Fest mustard, a tangy delight found primarily in Ontario, Canada. However, any good quality honey mustard can be a great substitute. Paired with melted cheese and nestled within a toasted Italian hamburger bun, this sandwich is both simple and satisfying. It's perfect for breakfast but versatile enough to serve as a light lunch with a side of raw vegetables or a fresh salad.
