**Adjust seasonings to your taste**
Place eggs in a 2 quart sauce pan--bring to a boil, then adjust temperature so that eggs continue to boil at a low boil to keep eggs from splitting--allow eggs to boil for 10 minutes, then take them off the heat and allow them to sit for an additional 5 to 10 minutes. Drain water off eggs and cover with cold water--let sit 5 to 10 minutes.
Take shells off eggs and place them in a medium mixing bowl--chop to desired consistency with a knife.
Chop gherkins to desired consistency and place in bowl with eggs.
In a separate small bowl whisk together mayonnaise, pickle juice, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and red pepper flakes to make dressing for eggs and gherkins.
Pour dressing over eggs and gherkins. Toss ingredients to desired consistency.
Chill in an air tight container at least one hour to allow flavors to mingle. Will keep up to a week--Freezing not advised.
