Equipment

  • timer
  • small pot
  • fork
  • sharp knife

Ingredients
  

Boiling eggs

  • 6 large-sized eggs room temperature for hard boiled
  • 1 large-sized egg room temperature for medium boiled (optional)
  • water
  • ice

Filling & assembly

  • 2 teaspoon whole milk
  • 4 tablespoon Kewpie Japanese Mayonnaise
  • ½ teaspoon white granulated sugar
  • ¾ teaspoon salt Diamond Crystal brand preferred
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 slices shokupan with crusts removed
  • unsalted butter softened
  • 1 tablespoon chives finely chopped (optional)

Instructions
 

Boiling eggs

  • In a pot of boiling water over medium-high heat, add all eggs and boil for 7 minutes and 30 seconds. Prep a bowl with cold water and ice. At 7 minutes and 30 seconds, remove ONE egg and place it in the ice bath for 2 minutes. Remove the egg, peel it carefully, and set it aside.
  • At 9 minutes, remove the rest of the eggs from the pot and place them in the ice bath for 2 minutes. Remove the eggs and peel them.

Filling & assembly

  • Take your hard-boiled eggs and slice them in half, adding them into a mixing bowl. Use a fork to mash up the eggs into minced pieces.
  • Add the milk, kewpie, sugar, salt, and black pepper to the eggs and mix until combined. Place this mixture in the fridge for 10 minutes to chill and thicken.
  • Cut the crusts from your shokupan and spread the butter on one side of each bread slice.
  • Cut the medium-boiled egg in half and place them face side down on two pieces of bread.
  • Remove your filling from the fridge and add the filling on either side of the medium-boiled egg so that it’s surrounding and covering the egg on top. Take another slice and add it on top to complete your sandwich. Repeat with the other sandwich.
  • Carefully slice the sandwich in half. Serve immediately.

Notes

For best results, use room temperature eggs and chill the filling thoroughly before assembly.
