You'll need eggs, Japanese milk bread, mayo, salt, and a little sugar. These simple ingredients create the rich, creamy filling of this classic sandwich.
Hard-boil the eggs for about 10 minutes, then place them in cold water. This makes peeling easier and helps keep the yolks soft and bright yellow.
Peel and mash the eggs with mayo, salt, and a bit of sugar. Stir well until smooth. The mayo adds a rich and creamy texture to the filling.
Japanese milk bread, or shokupan, is the best choice. Its fluffy texture soaks up the egg mixture, making each bite extra soft and flavorful.
Spread the egg mixture evenly between two slices of bread. Press gently and remove the crusts for a neat and authentic presentation.
Cut the sandwich into halves or thirds. Enjoy it fresh for the best taste. The creamy egg and soft bread create a melt-in-your-mouth experience.
This sandwich is great for breakfast, lunch, or a quick snack. It’s easy to make, delicious, and a popular choice in Japanese cafés and convenience stores.
