Egg Mayonnaise
Egg mayonnaise is one of those recipes that’s when it’s good, it’s real good. But when it’s bad… Yikes (cheap store bought ready made egg mayo sandwich filler – I’m looking at you!) 🤣But for real, homemade is always better. First things first, let’s talk mayo. I recommend going for a full fat mayo, much richer and much more flavour. I also recommend the following goodies stirred through as well:
Dijon Mustard – Offers a nice kick and goes gorgeously with both egg and mayonnaise. Vinegar – Malt vinegar is traditional, but apple cider vinegar makes a decent sub. Just a few drops is all you’ll need. White Pepper – Gives a little heat to the mayo.
I like my egg mayo fairly mayo heavy, but work to preference. For this recipe I use 1/2cup / 120g.
How to make the BEST Egg Mayo
Okay, mayonnaise is fixed. Let’s talk eggs. You’ll need to hard boil the eggs (I’ve added a section on this in the recipe card if you’re looking for a technique). Alongside the eggs and (pimped up) mayo, I recommend added these two game changers:
Bacon – I mean did you realistically think I wouldn’t be adding bacon to this recipe in some way shape or form? 🤣Egg and bacon is a match made in heaven, one I’m not about to split up. Chives – Another iconic duo, egg mayo and chives go together beautifully!
Can you make this in advance?
Absolutely! Just tightly cover and store in the fridge until needed. This will also give time for the flavours to develop.
How long does egg mayo last?
Tightly covered in the fridge, egg mayo will comfortably last up to 3 days. Longer at your discretion.
Egg Mayo Sandwich
What’s a homemade egg mayo if it’s not slapped between two slices of bread!? Two tips for you on this one:
How many eggs do you need for an egg sandwich?
For this recipe you’ll need 6 eggs, which will make 4 sandwiches (so 1.5 eggs per person).
And there we have it! To summarize:
Mustard, White Pepper and Vinegar are a game changer to spruce up the mayonnaise Bacon and Chives are two game changers to mix through the egg mayo Cress works perfectly in an egg mayo sandwich
