Instructions
- 1
Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with water; bring to a boil, then simmer for 12 minutes for a hard boil.

Peel the eggs and finely mince them using a fork or a wire mesh strainer for a smoother texture.

In a small bowl, combine the minced eggs, Kewpie mayonnaise, sugar, salt, pepper, and milk.
- 5
Mix the egg salad thoroughly until it reaches a creamy, spreadable consistency.
- 6
Lightly butter one side of each Shokupan slice to create a moisture barrier.
