Japanese Egg Sandwich. Soft creamy egg salad covered over of a soft boiled egg sandwiched between tender bread. Perfect for lunch!
This japanese boiled egg sandwich is one of my all-time favourite ways to make egg salad! It's simple, delicious and really easy! This sandwich is only made with 5 ingredients too!
My japanese egg sandwich recipe is so good, slightly tangy and savoury thanks to the scallions and pinch of salt.
The combination of the soft creamy egg salad with the tender bread is really such a wonderful one. It also tastes so light and not heavy at all!
I will teach you how to make a japanese egg sandwich in this recipe and to do it right especially if you want to see the side profile of the egg!

What is a Japanese egg sandwich?
It's similar to your classic egg salad sandwich but in between the fluffy layers of milk bread and egg salad is half of a boiled egg. This Japanese fluffy egg sandwich is delicious and found in Japan. They're so common that you can find them at convenient stores too!
For this recipe
You will need the following ingredients for this easy Japanese egg sandwich:
6 eggs
5 tablespoon Japanese mayo
⅛ teaspoon salt
⅛ cup scallions, finely chopped
4 slices milk bread
How to Make a Japanese Egg Sandwich
In a small pot, boil your water. Meanwhile, run your eggs under warm water to bring the shells to room temperature to prevent them from cracking.
Slowly add them to your boiling pot of water one by one. Set a timer to boil four of them for 9 minutes and two of them for 8 minutes.
Cover with a lid.
Meanwhile, prepare an ice bathe for your eggs.
At the 8 minute mark, remove your two eggs and transfer to an ice bath.
At the 9 minute mark, remove the remaining 4 eggs and transfer to an ice bath. Make sure to note which ones are the 8 minute eggs.
Crack and peel your eggs.
Place only 4 of the eggs into a bowl and mash them with a fork. Add your scallions, Japanese mayo, salt and mash it altogether.
Slice the other two eggs in half.
Assembling your sandwich:
Lay two pieces of bread. Place two egg halves face down vertically in the middle of your bread.
Spread your egg salad over top evenly.
Top it off with your other piece of bread.
Gently push it down.
Slice off the side edges only of your sandwich. Then turn it 90 degrees.
Then slice your sandwich into equal thirds.
Enjoy!

I am such a massive fan of egg salad and your take on the classic is such a fun upgrade. The scallions are the perfect compliment to the eggs, and I really loved how you added a couple of the boiled egg halves for added texture in the sandwich.
