Ingredients

  • 6 eggs
  • 120 g (½ cup) Japanese mayonnaise
  • salt, to season
  • 20 g butter, softened
  • 4 thick slices white bread
  • 4 thin slices ham
  • 4 leaves iceberg lettuce

Instructions

  1. Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil. Using a small pin, prick a hole in the base of the eggs. Carefully add to the boiling water and boil for 7½ minutes, stirring slowly for the first minute. Drain the eggs and transfer immediately to a large bowl of iced water and stand until completely cool. Drain and peel the eggs, then slice them in half, separating the yolks and the whites.
  2. Place the egg yolks and mayonnaise in a bowl and mash with a fork, then stir until smooth. Finely chop the egg whites and stir through the yolk mixture. Season well with salt.
  3. Butter the bread and layer with the egg mixture, ham and lettuce. Make into a sandwich, cut the crusts off, then cut in half to serve.
