Description
These Avocado Egg Salad Sandwiches combine creamy avocado with finely chopped hard-boiled eggs and a touch of mayonnaise, creating a rich, flavorful filling. Paired with soft, fluffy shokupan bread and topped with soft-boiled egg slices for extra texture and visual appeal, these sandwiches make a perfect light lunch or snack that’s easy to prepare and satisfying.
Ingredients
Egg Salad Filling
- 5 large hard-boiled eggs, peeled and quartered
- 1 large ripe avocado, diced
- 5 tbsp Kewpie mayonnaise (or regular mayonnaise as a substitute)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Additional Ingredients
- 2 soft-boiled eggs, sliced in half (use 1.5 eggs total for 3 sandwiches)
- 6 slices shokupan bread (or substitute with other milk breads or similar soft white bread)
Instructions
- Prepare Egg Salad Filling: Add the quartered hard-boiled eggs, diced avocado, and mayonnaise into a food processor. Blend until the mixture becomes finely chopped and reaches a paste-like consistency, leaving only small pieces of egg whites to provide texture. Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste.
- Assemble Sandwiches: Remove the crusts from all bread slices. On three of the bread slices, place a half of a soft-boiled egg in the center. Evenly spread the egg salad filling over these slices, ensuring the filling is at the same height and slightly covers the soft-boiled egg halves. Top each open-faced sandwich with one of the remaining bread slices to complete the sandwich.
- Serve: Slice each sandwich in half and serve immediately to enjoy the fresh and creamy flavors.
Notes
- Using Kewpie mayonnaise adds a slight sweetness and richer flavor typical in Japanese recipes, but regular mayonnaise works well too.
- Shokupan bread is soft and slightly sweet, making it ideal, but you may substitute with any soft white bread or milk bread.
- Soft-boiled eggs add a lovely texture contrast; ensure they are cooked so the yolk is set but still creamy.
- For a lower fat version, reduce mayonnaise or use a light mayonnaise alternative.
- To make vegetarian, ensure the mayonnaise used is egg-free or substitute with vegan mayo.
