Japanese Egg Sandwich

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.

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.
