For the Egg Salad

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Japanese Egg Sandwich
  1. Prepare an ice bath by filling a large bowl with ice water and setting it aside.
  2. Boil a medium pot of water over high heat. Once boiling, gently lower in the organic eggs. For medium soft-boiled eggs, boil for exactly 7 minutes, then rest in the pot for an additional minute.
  3. Chill the eggs in the ice bath for about 2 minutes to stop the cooking process.
  4. In a mixing bowl, mash the peeled eggs with a fork, then add sugar, salt, pepper, and mayonnaise.
  5. Spread softened butter on one side of each bread slice. Spoon the egg salad onto one slice and cover with another slice, buttered side down.
  6. Cut each sandwich diagonally and garnish with chopped chives if desired.
