Konbini Tamago Sando (Japanese Egg Salad Sandwich)

Three eggs makes two sandwiches. Please scale as needed. Careful to not over do the salt. In most cases, salt can be omitted or modified to taste. The same goes for sugar and pepper. This is a delicious fast prep snack you can have made in less than half an hour once eggs are cooked. You will preferably use shokupan (square Japanese bread) for this recipe but any fresh white bread will do. Please see my shokupan recipe for the Anova oven. Any oven can accomplish this however. You will have decide whether to use an egg slicer, slice eggs with a knife, or break the eggs with a fork. I find the that the egg slicer has the best texture. You can also get a little extra and separate the yolk. Then mix all ingredients but the sliced whites until the yolk is fully mixed with all ingredients, adding the whites after. This is done to add an additional texture layer.
