Japanese Egg Sandwich

The Japanese Egg Sandwich is a creamy, fluffy sandwich made with soft white bread and a rich, mayo-laden egg salad for a perfect balance of texture and flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large eggs
  • 3 tablespoons Japanese mayonnaise (e.g., Kewpie)
  • 1 teaspoon 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, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Drain and cool eggs in cold water.
  2. Peel the eggs and mash them thoroughly in a bowl.
  3. Add Japanese mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper to the mashed eggs and mix until creamy and well combined.
  4. Spread the egg mixture evenly over two slices of bread.
  5. Top with remaining bread slices to make sandwiches. Press gently to secure.
  6. Cut each sandwich diagonally into halves or quarters and serve immediately.

Notes

For an extra fluffy texture, use a blender to whip the egg mixture before spreading, and optionally add a pinch of sugar for subtle sweetness.
