Chili Crisp Mayo

April 6, 2025

This quick to prepare condiment can be made in less than 5 minutes. It will instantly upgrade your sandwiches (crispy chicken), coleslaw, burgers, or anything else you might want to add a zippy flavor to. It also makes an excellent marinade for grilled chicken.

For a fast, tasty meal, a sunny side up egg on toast comes to mind immediately!

You will need just 3 ingredients to make this savory and slightly spicy mayo. Chives are optional. If you don’t have chives you can add green onions. They add a welcoming fresh flavor.

I’ve tried quite a few different brands of chili crisp/crunch/oil. They vary in flavor with some being more garlic prominent while others are more peppery and herbal. Use your favorite brand and add more or less depending on your heat tolerance.

My favorite way to use this spicy mayo is to slather a generous amount on toasted bread, add baby watercress or arugula followed by a sunny side up fried egg. It’s quick and delicious served with a crispy salad on the side.

Tarragon Aioli

December 29, 2023

I’ve been a fan of fresh tarragon ever since I started making béarnaise sauce for our filet mignon dinners. An aromatic herb with a very subtle and delicate licorice flavor, adding tarragon elevates an assortment of sauces and dishes.

This recipe is a snap to make and it will take your sandwich to the next level. Using prepared mayonnaise means you can whip up this tarragon aioli in less than 10 minutes. Slather it on grilled or toasted sourdough bread and layer on sliced tomatoes, or use it for BLT and chicken sandwiches, sliced hard boiled eggs or a dip for asparagus.

My favorite way to use tarragon aioli is on our homemade sourdough bread topped with juicy tomatoes. Grilling the bread with a bit of olive oil elevates the flavor and makes for a scrumptious open-faced sandwich.

Be generous with the aioli! You want your sandwich to be well seasoned.
