Recipe: Million Dollar Sandwich

Getting ready for a summer picnic? Try out this recipe that features homemade mayonnaise that is creamy and tangy.

Ingredients for the Mayonnaise (increase quantities for a larger amount)

1 large egg yolk

1 tbsp white wine vinegar

1 tbsp water, add more if needed

1/4 tsp kosher salt, more to taste

1/2 cup vegetable oil

1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Ingredients for each Sandwich

2 slices of Louie's Bakery Sourdough or Rye Bread

1 slice Bibb lettuce or lettuce of your choice

1 Tomato slice

Louie's Pit Ham, sliced thick

Dill Pickle Slices

Medium or Sharp Cheddar Cheese Slices

Whole Grain Mustard, to taste

Directions

In a medium heat-safe bowl, whisk the egg youlk, vinegar, and 1 tbsp water.
Fill a large bowl with ice water and set it aside.
In a pan over medium-low heat, bring 2 inches of water to a simmer.
Carefully set the bowl with the yolk mixture over the pan. Don't allow the water to get into the bowl.
Whisk the yolk mixture until it reaches 145 F as measured with a thermometer.
Set the bowl into the ice water to stop the cooking.
Whisk the cooked yolk mixture until it is lukewarm; don't allow it to get cold. Place the bowl on a damp towel.
Add 1/4 tsp of salt to the yolk mixture.
In a measuring cup, combine the vegetable oil and olive oil.
Whisking the yolk mixture, drizzle the oil mixture into the bowl until the yolk mixture is smooth and thick. If the oil is not emulsifying into the mixture, stop adding oil and whisk to combine before continuing. If the mayo is too thick, whisk in a little more water.
Season the may with salt, to taste.
Spread the homemade mayonnaise on 1 slice of bread. Top with the sandwich ingredients.
Spread the mustard over the other slice of bread. Close the sandwich and enjoy!
Leftover mayonnaise can be stored refrigerated for 4 days.
