Japanese Egg Sandwich

Recipe by Connie Veneracion
Egg sandwich is everywhere in Japan. It is a mainstay in convenience stores, and we tried the Family Mart, 7-Eleven and Lawson versions. Hands down, Lawson's egg sandwich wins.
Mashed hard-boiled eggs, Japanese mayo, salt and pepper. Those are the only ingredients for making the filling.

Ingredients
  

For the filling

  • 3 extra large eggs
  • 3 tablespoons Japanese mayonnaise
  • salt to taste
  • pepper to taste

For the sandwiches

  • 6 slices soft white bread
  • salted butter

Instructions
 

Make the filling

  • Place the eggs in a sauce pan and cover with water. Bring to the boil, lower the heat, cover the pan and simmer for 12 minutes.
  • Strain the eggs and dump into a bowl of iced water. Leave to cool for five minutes.
  • Shell the eggs and mash with the back of a fork. How chunky or smooth is up to you.
  • Stir the mayonnaise into the eggs.
  • Season with a few pinches of salt and pepper, stir and taste. Add more, as needed.

Assemble the sandwiches

  • Spread butter on one side of all slices of bread.
  • Divide the egg filling into three portions and spread on portion on a buttered slice of bread.
  • Cover the egg filling with the remaining bread, buttered side touching the egg filling.
  • Press down the sandwiches lightly to remove air pockets.
  • Optionally, cut off and discard the edges of the bread, and cut the sandwiches into smaller pieces, before serving.
