Japanese Egg Sandwich

The Japanese Egg Sandwich is a soft, fluffy sandwich featuring creamy, whipped egg salad between slices of tender white bread, perfect for a light and satisfying meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons Japanese mayonnaise (e.g., Kewpie)
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • Salt, to taste
  • Ground black pepper, to taste
  • 4 slices soft white sandwich bread, crusts removed

Instructions

  1. Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
  2. Once boiling, turn off the heat and let the eggs sit covered for 10 minutes.
  3. Drain and rinse eggs under cold water, then peel them.
  4. Mash the peeled eggs in a bowl until mostly smooth with some small pieces remaining for texture.
  5. Add Japanese mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper to the eggs. Mix until creamy and well combined.
  6. Spread the egg salad evenly onto two slices of bread.
  7. Top with the remaining slices of bread to form sandwiches.
  8. Cut each sandwich diagonally or into bite-sized pieces if preferred. Serve immediately.

Notes

For an extra fluffy texture, whip the egg yolks and whites separately before mixing. Serve with a side of pickles or fresh salad for a balanced meal.
