This easy egg mayo sandwich is my go to when I’m feeling a bit lazy and want a good snack.

Why you’ll love this recipe

  • Simple & Pure: This recipe focuses on the natural richness of the eggs, enhanced by a hint of sugar for that iconic Japanese-style “Sando” sweetness.
  • Perfectly Peelable: The ice water method ensures you never struggle with shells again, leaving you with smooth, beautiful eggs every time.
  • Cloud-Like Filling: A splash of milk combined with mayonnaise creates a light, airy filling that spreads effortlessly over soft bread.

Key Ingredients

  • 10-Minute Eggs: Boiling for exactly 10 minutes gives you a vibrant, fully set yolk that is firm enough to chop but still creamy.
  • Mayonnaise: The creamy binder that brings the eggs together; using a high-quality mayo makes a big difference in the final silkiness.
  • Pumpkin Toast: You can find my homemade pumpkin toast on this blog.

Key Steps

  • #1: The Ice Bath. Shocking the eggs stops the cooking process instantly, preventing that unappealing green ring around the yolk.
  • #2: Chunk the Eggs. Breaking the eggs into chunks rather than a fine mash gives the sandwich a more satisfying, rustic texture.
  • #3: The Liquid Finish. A splash of milk at the very end ensures the egg salad is moist and velvety rather than stiff.
