Ingredients

  • 4 slices shokupan (Japanese milk bread, also called Hokkaido bread) – if you cannot find shokupan you can make it from scratch using this recipe
  • Butter
  • 4 medium to hard boiled eggs, peeled
  • 5 tablespoons kewpie mayo – if you cannot find kewpie mayo you can make it from scratch using this recipe
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (use a little less for table salt, since the grains are smaller)

  • Ground black pepper

Directions

  1. 1

    Put the hard boiled eggs in a bowl and mash with a fork.

  4. 4

    Top with the other slice and cut the sandwich in half. Serve
