Japanese Egg Sandwich

The Japanese Egg Sandwich is a soft, fluffy sandwich featuring creamy, lightly seasoned egg salad between pillowy white bread slices, perfect for a comforting snack or light lunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons Japanese Kewpie mayonnaise
  • 1/2 teaspoon dijon mustard
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 4 slices soft white sandwich bread, crusts removed

Instructions

  1. Place eggs in a pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
  2. Once boiling, reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Transfer eggs to an ice bath to cool.
  3. Peel the eggs and mash them in a bowl until mostly smooth but still slightly chunky.
  4. Mix in Kewpie mayonnaise, dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until creamy and well combined.
  5. Spread the egg mixture evenly on two slices of bread.
  6. Top with remaining bread slices to form sandwiches.
  7. Cut each sandwich diagonally or into halves and serve immediately.

Notes

For extra flavor, add finely chopped chives or a sprinkle of shichimi togarashi. Serve chilled for best texture.
