EQUIPMENT

  • 1 Pot to boil eggs
  • 1 Bowl
  • 1 fork
  • 1 Frying pan to toast bread (optional)
  • 1 Cutting board
  • 1 Knife
  • 1 Serving plate

INGREDIENTS
 

  • 4 eggs large
  • 3 tablespoon Japanese Kewpie Mayonnaise
  • 2 teaspoon Milk
  • ¼ teaspoon Salt
  • Black pepper (ground) to taste
  • 4 slice Japanese Shokupan milkbread
  • butter

INSTRUCTIONS

Egg Salad

  • Place eggs in a pot of water and make sure the water fully covers the eggs.
  • Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.
  • Once it starts to boil, turn it down to a light simmer and cook for 10-12 minutes.
  • Once the eggs are done, transfer them to an ice bath to stop the cooking. Once cooled, peel the eggs.
  • Mash the eggs in a bowl using a fork. Focus on breaking up the whites more than the yolk; the yolk will naturally crumble as you go.
  • Add Japanese mayo, milk, salt, and pepper to taste.
  • Mix everything together until you reach your desired consistency.

Bread

  • Slice your bread into four even slices (if it's not pre-sliced).
  • Traditional Option: Spread the butter on the inside of the bread where the egg salad will go.
  • Crispy Toasted Option: Spread butter on the outside of the bread and pan-fry it for a golden-brown, crispy texture. Heat a pan over medium heat, place the bread butter-side down, and press gently with a spatula until golden. Repeat for all four slices (one side only).

Assembling

  • Spread the egg salad onto one slice of bread.
  • Top it with another slice to create the sandwich. Apply gentle pressure to compress it slightly.
  • For a traditional presentation, cut off the crusts and slice the sandwich into rectangles or triangles.
