Perfect Egg Mayonnaise?

I sometimes like to finely chop a spring onion into mine along with Helmans

When I was growing up we didn't have mayonnaise, we just mashed up the egg with a little butter, pepper and a dash of milk.

I had this today between two slices of granary bread and a little salad, it was very nice

Irish funeral sandwiches sound fabulous

You are all so much better than me. I just use eggs and salad cream. I need to be more adventurous.

Am I the only one who just had to have an egg sandwich for lunch after reading this thread? Hit the spot for sure!
I’ve always made mine just with salad cream but mixed it 50:50 with mayo today - much creamier and less acidic, thoroughly enjoyed. Will try with chopped tomato mixed in tomorrow.

The extras people are mentioning made me think of Irish Funeral sandwiches which every funeral over there seems to have and they are delicious. My Mum also often made these for us.

Hard boiled eggs, mashed with half and half mayo and salad cream and salt and pepper. Add finely chopped tomato, finely sliced spring onions (or scallions as they call them)and a couple of finely chopped lettuce leaves. Mix all together.

Must be on very fresh bread with real butter.

Oh yes, now you're talking - Irish funeral sandwiches are amazing!
And no, not at all worried about salmonella because we only get our eggs from two local smallholders very close to where we live.

I buy it. Usually from Lidl or Aldi.
Wouldn't dream of all that construction work just to eat it.
I prefer ones that have a good ratio of bricks to mortar.
Some sloppy ones have too much mortar.
I don't buy those again.

Ps. Anyone concerned about the salmonella outbreak from imported eggs. ?

I think I could happily live on what my family call squishy egg sandwiches. I have a brilliant egg slicer, after slicing I turn in around and slice it the other way so not too much squishing to do. Add salt and pepper, a little mayo and salad cream. Also any salad vegetables if available. Heaven.

My late MiL had a great egg slicer - unfortunately, when she moved into a nursing home and we were clearing out the house, my idiot of a husband threw it out, because I'd had my eye on it!

I used to have one, just wondering what happened to it 🤔

Full fat Hellman's Mayo, salt, pepper and sometimes cress.

Almost the same as you Cossy but I add a little English mustard rather than cayenne.

Chives, mayo, egg

Cannot get on with the texture of Mayo at all!

Egg salad cream, optional sliced celery

Boiled eggs
Mayonnaise
Lots and lots of black pepper

I make mine with garlic mayo from France . Hellmans is acceptable if we’ve run out before we can do another visit

Thanks Cossy

I must be a bit of a heathen because I only really like egg sandwiches made with salad cream even though I don’t like the stuff in any other form. Mayonnaise just doesn’t taste as good to me.

Olive oil really makes it taste bitter.
There are instructions on the internet for making mayo at home with a stick blender, it’s very easy with none of that oil being added drop by drop!
Egg mayo my favourite sandwich filling of all time, had it in Venice once with artichoke hearts and it was lovely.

It's so interesting to see the different words used for things. In the U.S. the same thing is called egg salad. I like to add a little bit of yellow mustard to mine. I have started using Duke's mayo because it's sometimes cheaper than Hellman's and I like it better anyway.

Eggs, mayo, salt, pepper, bacon!

Chopped onion is lovely in an egg mayonnaise sandwich.

Chop eggs finely. Add salad cream and a dollop of sandwich spread. Mix well. Gives a slight tang to the eggs.

.

I do the same as Cossy but without the butter and with a mild Korma powder in lieu of the paprika. Oh, and I add a few Flame raisins to the mix.

Lovely taste - like Coronation Chicken but made with eggs!!

I've only used it as a sandwich filler but I'm wondering now if it would work as a Baked Potato topping?

P.S. I can't ever reply to lead posters as giant annoying advertisements cover the link to do so on their postings
Does anyone else have this annoyance?

I prefer ssalad cream to mayo, I find mayo too bland. my egg mayo is made of eggs, butter, salad cream, salt, pepper and chopped chives. Can't eat brown bread so I'd just used white bread or roll. Just make it how you like it, no right or wrong way.

At a catered event recently we had egg sandwiches, the like I'd neer tasted before. I asked the caterer what was the secret ingredient. I was told no secret ingredient, just well mashed eggs, half and half mayonnaise and salad cream with a little salt and pepper. They were delicious.
