Japanese Tamago Sando. A popular Japanese egg sandwich that you can find in convenience stores. This soft brioche egg salad sandwich is light, soft and fluffy all through out. Great for lunch or a snack.
This is very similar to the Japanese 7-11 egg sandwich which looks like this.
This tamago sando recipe is very easy! It's really your classic egg salad sandwich using Japanese mayo and brioche buns. However, there is a simple technique to getting the egg salad very fluffy, soft and yellow. I will teach you how below.
The egg salad can be stored in an air tight container and can last up to 4 days. Just store it separately from your bread. You can make these little sandwiches in advance, but I would really recommend consuming within the same day.
What is a Japanese egg sandwich?
It's essentially a soft egg salad made with hard boiled eggs and Japanese mayo, salt and pepper sandwiched between two fluffy pieces of milk bread.
Can I use normal bread for this egg salad sandwich?
You definitely can. My recommendation is opt for the soft fluffy kind as it really elevates the taste of the egg salad to the next level.
Where can I find brioche bread?
Any western grocer will have them in their bakery section. I'm using the mini versions.
Can I add veggies to this egg salad?
You may but it will weigh down the texture of the egg salad, so it may not be as fluffy. If you really want to, I would suggest adding scallions, celery and carrots all diced finely.

Place your egg whites on a chopping board and finely dice them.
Pour the finely grated egg yolk into the egg whites.
