Japanese Egg Sandwich

The Japanese Egg Sandwich is a soft, fluffy and creamy sandwich featuring whipped egg salad between pillowy white bread slices, perfect for a quick breakfast or snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 tbsp Japanese mayo (Kewpie)
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black 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 heat, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
  2. Drain hot water, transfer eggs to a bowl of ice water and let cool for 5 minutes.
  3. Peel eggs and mash them gently with a fork, leaving some texture.
  4. Mix in Japanese mayo, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until creamy and well combined.
  5. Lay out the bread slices and spread the egg mixture evenly on two slices.
  6. Top with the remaining slices to form sandwiches. Press gently to seal.
  7. Cut sandwiches diagonally and serve immediately or wrap and chill for later.

Notes

For extra flavor, add a thin slice of cucumber or a sprinkle of chives inside the sandwich before serving.
