Two classics combine into one satisfying sandwich from Pete & Gerry's partner Phillip Tang of Potato Is Like. Creamy herby mayo, chopped hard-boiled eggs, crisp bacon, cool iceberg lettuce, and juicy tomato are layered between buttery toasted white bread for a lunch that's simple, fresh, and loaded with texture.
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the mayonnaise, whole grain mustard, olive oil, sugar, kosher salt, cracked black pepper, lemon juice, and chopped herbs. Stir until smooth. For an extra-creamy texture, blend with an immersion blender for 1 to 2 minutes.
- Fold the chopped hard-boiled eggs into the herby mayo until evenly coated, leaving some larger pieces for texture.
- Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
- Butter both sides of the bread. Toast until golden brown on both sides.
- Spread a generous layer of herby egg salad onto two slices of toasted bread.
- Top with the crispy bacon, tomato slices, and iceberg lettuce. Season with flaky salt and freshly ground black pepper, if desired.
- Close with the remaining toasted bread, slice in half, and serve immediately.
A Helpful Tip
Don't wipe out the pan! Toast the buttered bread in the rendered bacon fat for an extra hit of smoky flavor.
