Equipment

  • Pot
  • bowl
  • fork
  • Egg Slicer

Ingredients
  

Egg Mixture

  • 3 teaspoons milk
  • 3 tablespoons Japanese Kewpie mayonnaise
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • ½–1 teaspoon sugar start with ½
  • Pinch grated nutmeg optional

Bread

  • 8 slices Japanese milk bread or white bread
  • Salted butter for spreading

Instructions
 

Preparation Steps

  • Fill a 3 to 5 quart pot halfway with water and bring to a boil. One at a time, use a spoon to gently lower the eggs into the boiling water so they don’t crack. Cover the pot, turn off the heat, and set the timer for 12-15 minutes for yolks that are set but not chalky; adjust time for desired doneness.
  • When the eggs are done, transfer them to an ice bath for at least 1 minute.
  • Crack and peel the eggs. Transfer them to a bowl and mash with a fork or use an egg slicer. Mashing will get you a smoother consistency, and an egg slicer is faster.
  • Combine milk, mayonnaise, salt, pepper, sugar and nutmeg with the eggs and mix gently. Taste, and adjust accordingly.
  • To assemble your sandwiches, butter one side of one slice of bread and spread the egg salad mixture on the other slice.
  • Place buttered bread on top, cut the crusts off, and halve the sandwiches.
  • Serve immediately or keep them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.

Notes

These sandwiches are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator for a few days.
