Deep Fried Japanese Egg Sando

Crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside, this Deep Fried Japanese Egg Sando is a fun twist on the classic tamago sandwich. Thick slices of Texas toast are fried until golden and crunchy, then stuffed with a rich and fluffy egg salad made with Kewpie mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and perfectly boiled eggs.
