Japanese Tamago Sando

A pillowy Japanese egg salad sandwich on crustless milk bread. The eggs are creamy and rich with Kewpie mayo, and the bread is impossibly soft. Simple perfection.

Instructions

1

Bring a pot of water to a boil. Gently lower in the eggs and boil for exactly 8 minutes for jammy yolks or 10 minutes for fully set. Transfer to an ice bath for 5 minutes, then peel.

Tip: Kewpie mayo is the secret ingredient. It uses only egg yolks and has a richer flavor and creamier texture than regular mayo.

2

Roughly chop the eggs (keep them chunky). Mix with Kewpie mayo, rice vinegar, mustard, sugar, salt, and white pepper. The filling should be creamy but still have visible egg pieces.

3

Divide the egg salad between two slices of bread, spreading it evenly. Top with the remaining bread slices.

4

Trim the crusts with a sharp knife. Cut each sandwich diagonally in half. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 10 minutes before serving (this helps everything set).
