Preparation of Egg Salad

  • Boil the eggs in a pot of water for about 10-12 minutes.
  • Once hard-boiled, plunge the eggs into ice water to stop cooking.
  • When cool, peel and roughly chop the eggs.
  • In a bowl, combine chopped eggs with Japanese mayonnaise, sugar, salt, and black pepper.
  • If desired, add milk for a creamier texture and stir until well mixed.

Assembling the Sandwich

  • Spread softened butter on one side of each slice of milk bread.
  • Place a generous amount of egg salad on the unbuttered side of two slices.
  • Top with the other slices of bread, buttered side up, and press down slightly.
  • If using, garnish with sliced chives before slicing the sandwich diagonally for serving.

Notes

Enjoy with green tea or a side of pickled vegetables for a complete meal. For a more polished appearance, consider removing the crusts.
