  • Author: beaucollier

  • Yield: 2 servings 1x
  • Diet: Vegetarian

Description

A fluffy and creamy Japanese egg sandwich featuring perfectly seasoned egg filling nestled between slices of soft milk bread.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large Pete and Gerry’s Organic Eggs
  • 1/4 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons milk (or plant milk – Optional)
  • 4 tablespoons Japanese mayonnaise
  • 4 slices Japanese milk bread
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (softened)
  • Chives (sliced – for garnish, Optional)

Instructions

  1. Start by placing your eggs in a medium saucepan and covering them with cold water. Bring the water to a rapid boil over medium heat.
  2. Once boiling, cover the pot with a lid and turn off the heat. Let the eggs sit for 9-12 minutes.
  3. As soon as your eggs are done sitting, transfer them to a bowl of ice water to cool.
  4. Once cool, gently tap your eggs on the counter to crack the shell and peel under running water.
  5. In a medium bowl, combine the chopped eggs, sugar, salt, pepper, milk, and Japanese mayonnaise. Mix gently until creamy.
  6. Lightly butter one side of each slice of Japanese milk bread.
  7. Heat a pan over medium heat and toast the bread, butter side down, until perfectly golden brown.
  8. Spread a generous amount of the egg filling on the unbuttered side of one slice of bread, then top with another slice, butter side up.
  9. Slice your sandwich into quarters or halves and garnish with sliced chives if desired.

Notes

For a twist, add mashed avocado, sriracha, or fresh herbs to the egg mixture. Can be made ahead of time!
