What’s In Mayo and Egg Sandwich Recipe?
- Hard boiled eggs
- Simple Mayonnaise: I like to use this mayo to keep this recipe lighter. A lot of mayo varieties can have hidden sugar, so make sure you are using a good mayonnaise if you eat clean.
- Whole Grain or Dijon Mustard – for a really nice flavor and texture, you can use either whole grain mustard, stone ground, or Dijon.
- Dill
- Dill Relish
- Tellicherry Peppercorns: Like the salt, it’s amazing the flavor difference you can get with really good tellicherry black pepper. Amazon has a generic brand tellicherry peppercorn which is the same price is buying pre-ground, and has a million times more flavor… so I use these really great tellicherry peppercorns, which I would definitely recommend.
- Onion Powder: adds a delicious and savory flavor to this dish as well, and the onion powder is great to add a little onion flavor to this dish… without actual onion. Avoid onion breath and use powder onion instead of fresh for this recipe.
- Salt and Pepper to Taste
