Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large eggs (preferably free-range or organic)
- 3 tablespoons Kewpie mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon milk or cream
- 8 slices soft white sandwich bread, crusts removed
- Pinch of salt
- White pepper to taste
- Optional: pinch of sugar
Instructions
- Place 4 large eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water by about an inch. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes.
- Transfer eggs to an ice bath for at least 5 minutes to stop cooking and make peeling easier. Peel under running cold water.
- Roughly chop peeled eggs and mash lightly with a fork, leaving some small chunks for texture.
- Add 3 tablespoons Kewpie mayo, 1 tablespoon milk or cream, a pinch of salt, white pepper to taste, and optional sugar. Fold gently until creamy and well combined. Adjust seasoning as needed.
- Trim crusts off 8 slices of soft white bread. Lightly toast if desired, but traditionally use untoasted bread.
- Spread a generous amount of egg mixture evenly over 4 slices of bread. Top with remaining slices, pressing down gently but firmly.
- Use a sharp knife to cut each sandwich in half or quarters, wiping the blade clean between cuts to keep edges neat.
Notes
Avoid overcooking eggs to prevent dry texture; peel eggs under running water for easier peeling. Leave some egg chunks for texture. Assemble sandwiches just before eating to keep bread soft. Store wrapped in fridge up to 24 hours; reheat gently in toaster oven, avoid microwave.
