In addition to the popular pimento cheese sandwiches and other simple food faves, the Masters is known for their famous Egg Salad Sandwiches! Served up in green plastic baggies for $1.50, the egg salad is as iconic as the green grass, blooming azaleas, and the tournament’s famous green jackets!
Fun Fact: Did you know the price of the sandwiches at the Masters tournament hasn’t changed since 2003? $1.50 then and now!
As a “golf family” (my husband has worked in golf since he graduated and is currently managing tournaments for our state), we take the Masters very seriously! Our first daughter understood the assignment, arriving one month before her due date on … you guessed it… Masters Sunday!
Needless to say, we host a Masters Viewing Party each year and even themed our daughter’s 4th birthday around golf!
Tips for Making Masters Egg Salad Sandwiches
Back to this Masters egg salad recipe, it’s simply delicious; a creamy combination of hard boiled eggs, mayonnaise (use Duke’s mayonnaise for that true Southern experience), mustard (you can leave this out but I like the extra oomph it adds), paprika, onion powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper! That’s it! It’s a super simple classic egg salad recipe.
You want your hard boiled eggs to be diced, so you can either use a sharp knife, a food processor or an electric mixer to chop them finely. Don’t worry if there are still pieces of hard boiled egg, it gives it texture and tastes delicious! That’s how I like my egg salad sandwiches!
If you want that true Masters sandwich experience, then fluffy white bread cut on the diagonal is the only way to go with your egg salad sandwiches! You’ll have as close to the real thing as you can get!
Now you can enjoy a traditional unlike any other… right in your living room! Homemade Famous Masters Egg Salad Sandwiches!
What to Serve with Masters Egg Salad?

Masters Egg Salad
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 teaspoon yellow mustard - optional
- 1/4 teaspoon sweet paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder

Thank you for the recipe!!
Hi JoAnn – You are SO welcome!
I’ve always made my mother’s egg salad recipe which is dill weed, onion powder, Best Foods mayonnaise and mustard. When I saw your recipe I was very intrigued. I ordered Dukes mayonnaise since it’s not available here in southern Oregon. I used fresh eggs from our birds. Sorry mom but I probably won’t go back to the family recipe. This is the best egg salad I’ve ever had. Dukes makes all the difference! Thank you for sharing. My husband loves it!
Thank you for the glowing review, Susan!
At the Masters they don’t cut the sandwiches, diagonal or otherwise.

I made this for a masters party this weekend and they were a hit! Several people commented on how much they enjoyed the egg salad and asked for the recipe!
I can’t wait to prepare this for next weekend’s Masters celebration. Where did you get the Masters branded deli paper? I think it’s great!
