Ingredients
Scale
- 4 slices Japanese milk bread
- 6 large eggs
- 4 tbsps Japanese mayonnaise
- 2 tbsps (30 g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 to 2 tsp milk or plant milk (optional)
- ¼ tsp sugar
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp ground black pepper
- Chives, sliced (optional)
Instructions
- Egg Preparation: Gently immerse eggs into vigorously boiling water, cooking for 7-10 minutes to achieve desired yolk texture, then swiftly transfer to an ice bath for rapid cooling and effortless peeling.
- Egg Transformation: Deconstruct boiled eggs using a fork, creating uniform, delicate fragments, then blend with mayonnaise, sugar, salt, and pepper until a smooth, creamy consistency emerges.
- Bread Foundation: Generously coat bread slices with butter, establishing a rich, flavorful base that enhances the sandwich’s overall taste profile.
- Assembly Technique: Spread the egg mixture comprehensively across one bread slice, then carefully position the second slice atop, buttered side facing downward, and apply gentle pressure to seal the layers.
- Finishing Touches: Precisely trim the outer crusts to create a clean, refined sandwich silhouette, and optionally garnish with finely chopped chives for added visual and flavor dimensions.
- Presentation: Slice the sandwich diagonally, revealing two elegant triangular portions ready to be savored.
Notes
- Egg Cooking Precision: Boil eggs between 7-10 minutes for perfect soft to medium-firm yolk consistency, ensuring precise texture.
- Cooling Technique: Immediately transfer eggs to ice water to stop cooking, guaranteeing smooth shell removal and maintaining ideal egg temperature.
- Butter Coating Strategy: Apply a generous, even butter layer on bread surfaces to create a rich, moisture-sealing base that prevents sogginess.
- Presentation Perfection: Trim sandwich crusts carefully for a clean, professional appearance that elevates the visual and textural experience of this classic Japanese street food.
