Description

A delightful Japanese egg sandwich featuring a creamy egg salad made with soft-boiled eggs, Japanese mayonnaise, and a touch of seasoning, all nestled between slices of soft Japanese milk bread.


Ingredients

Scale

For the egg salad:

  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/4 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 12 teaspoons milk or plant milk (optional)
  • 4 tablespoons Japanese mayonnaise

For the sandwich:

  • 4 slices Japanese milk bread
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • Chives, sliced (optional)

Instructions

  • Prepare an ice bath: Fill a large bowl with ice water.
  • Boil eggs: Bring a medium-sized pot of water to a boil. Carefully lower the eggs into the boiling water using a ladle. Boil for 7 minutes for medium-soft boiled eggs or 10 minutes for hard-boiled eggs.
  • Cool eggs: Immediately transfer the eggs to the ice bath and let sit for 2 minutes to stop cooking. Peel the eggs.
  • Mash eggs: Transfer the peeled eggs to a large bowl and mash with a fork.
  • Add seasonings: Add sugar, salt, pepper, and mayonnaise (and milk if using hard-boiled eggs). Mix well.
  • Taste and adjust: Taste the egg salad and adjust seasonings as needed.
  • Butter bread: Spread 1/2 tablespoon of butter onto each slice of bread.
  • Layer egg salad: Spread egg salad onto one slice of bread.
  • Assemble sandwich: Place the other slice of bread on top, buttered side down. Gently press the bread down.
  • Cut crusts: Cut the crusts off the sandwiches.
  • Garnish and serve: Garnish with chives, if using. Cut sandwiches in half and serve immediately.
  • To store: Wrap sandwiches individually with plastic wrap and store in the fridge for up to 2 days.

Notes

  • For a creamier texture, add milk to the egg salad.
  • Adjust seasonings according to your taste preferences.
