I’m going to teach you the secrets to making the Masters Tournament’s famous egg salad sandwich. I have tips and personal insights to help you make an authentic version of this famous creamy southern egg salad.
What’s the secret recipe?
Here is the tricky part: This creamy egg salad recipe has been carefully kept a secret. However, I have meticulously created this copycat recipe using the ingredients listed on a sandwich bag I brought home from the Masters tournament many years ago.
According to the Augusta National’s website, the sandwich was first served at the tournament in the 1950s and has been a favorite choice among patrons ever since.
Why This Copycat Recipe Is Authentic
Many Masters egg salad copycat recipes on the internet add all kinds of ingredients that Augusta National Golf Club does not have in their egg salad. There is no olive oil, mustard, celery, black pepper, or seasoning in a proper copycat recipe.
How do I know? I live in Augusta, Georgia, and have attended the Masters since high school. I now have 15 grandkids, so that might give you a perspective on how long I have been going.
