   Drain the eggs and immediately rinse with cold water (to stop the cooking).

   Gently tap all over the surface of the egg and peel off the egg shell. (Tip: I find it easier to do this under running cold water, or in an ice bath).

   Repeat with the remaining egg.

   Add the peeled eggs into a medium bowl.

8. 8

   Use a fork to mash the eggs.

   Add kewpie mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, salt and pepper (to your taste), green onions and give it a mix to combine thoroughly.

    Spread the egg salad mixture evenly onto a slice of white bread.

    Slice in half and serve.
