Egg Salad Sandwiches

Source of Recipe

From "A Southern Gentleman's Kitchen" by Matt Moore


Recipe Introduction

"I don't know exactly what's in the egg salad at Augusta National Golf Club and to be honest, I don't want to know—the mystery is what keeps it fun. In my version, I like mustard and dill pickle relish, which add a bit of bite and texture. To get that perfectly smooth texture, I finely grate the eggs and mash everything with a fork until well combined. To keep it even more real, serve it just like they do on the course in a super-thin plastic green baggie—not easy to find."

List of Ingredients

â—¦ 12 hard-cooked eggs, peeled and finely grated
â—¦ ½ cup mayonnaise
â—¦ 1 tablespoon finely chopped dill pickle
â—¦ 1 teaspoon kosher salt
â—¦ 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
â—¦ ¾ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
â—¦ 10 slices white bread, crusts removed


Recipe

Using a fork, mash first six ingredients in a large bowl until mixture is thoroughly blended and smooth.

Spread a generous layer of egg mixture on one side of five bread slices; top with remaining bread slices. Cut each sandwich into 4 finger sandwiches, and serve immediately.

Makes 20 finger sandwiches
