Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare Ice Bath: Fill a large bowl with ice and cold water, deep enough to fully submerge the eggs once boiled.
  2. Boil Eggs: In a medium saucepan, bring enough water to a rolling boil and gently lower the organic eggs into the boiling water. Cook for 7 minutes for soft-boiled or 10 minutes for hard-boiled.
  3. Chill Eggs: Transfer the eggs into the ice bath for 2 minutes until cool to the touch.
  4. Make Egg Salad: Peel the eggs, mash them in a bowl, and mix with sugar, salt, pepper, and Japanese mayonnaise until creamy.
  5. Assemble Sandwich: Spread softened butter on each slice of bread, add egg salad, and top with another slice, butter side down.
  6. Serve: Slice the sandwich in half and serve immediately.
