Ingredients
For the Egg Salad
- 4 large Pete and Gerry’s Organic Eggs
- 1/4 teaspoon sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1-2 teaspoons milk or plant milk (optional)
- 4 tablespoons Japanese mayonnaise
For the Sandwich
- 4 slices Japanese milk bread
- 2 tablespoons butter, softened
- Fresh chives (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the Ice Bath: Fill a large bowl with ice and water to create an ice bath for cooling the eggs quickly after boiling.
- Boil the Eggs: Bring water to a boil in a pot, gently add the eggs, and boil them for 7-10 minutes until hard boiled.
- Cool the Eggs: Transfer the boiled eggs immediately to the prepared ice bath and let them cool for about 2 minutes to stop the cooking process and make peeling easier.
- Peel and Mash: Peel the eggs carefully and transfer them to a mixing bowl. Mash the eggs gently with a spatula until broken down but still slightly chunky.
- Make Egg Salad: Add sugar, salt, black pepper, Japanese mayonnaise, and optional milk to the mashed eggs. Mix all ingredients well until combined into a creamy, fluffy egg salad.
- Prepare the Bread: Butter each slice of Japanese milk bread evenly with the softened butter.
- Assemble the Sandwich: Spread a generous amount of the egg salad onto one slice of the buttered bread, then top it with another slice to form a sandwich.
- Serve: Cut the sandwich in half diagonally or straight, garnish with fresh chives if desired, and enjoy immediately for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- Use Japanese mayonnaise for authentic flavor and creaminess.
- Adjust salt and pepper to taste depending on preference.
- Using organic eggs enhances the flavor and texture of the egg salad.
- Serve sandwiches immediately to enjoy the soft texture of the bread.
- Optional milk adds extra creaminess but can be omitted for a thicker salad.
