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 bread, crusts removed
- Butter, for spreading (optional)
Instructions
- Place eggs in a pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Once boiling, reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes to hard-boil the eggs.
- Drain the hot water and transfer eggs to an ice bath to cool completely.
- Peel the eggs and mash them in a bowl using a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth but slightly chunky.
- Add Japanese mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create a creamy egg salad.
- Optional: Lightly butter each bread slice for extra moisture and flavor.
- Evenly spread the egg salad onto two slices of bread and top with the remaining slices to form sandwiches.
- Cut sandwiches diagonally and serve immediately or wrap tightly to enjoy later.
Notes
For an extra soft texture, gently beat the eggs before simmering to create a fluffier egg salad. Adding finely chopped scallions or a dash of soy sauce can also enhance flavor.
