Can I use different types of bread for this sandwich?

Certainly! While white bread is traditional, you can absolutely use whole grain, sourdough, or even gluten-free bread, whatever you prefer. Just make sure it can hold the egg salad filling without getting soggy.

How long does the egg salad mixture last?

The egg salad mixture can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. However, for the best flavor and texture, consume it shortly after preparation.

Can I add additional vegetables to my Tamago Sando?

Absolutely! Feel free to enhance the egg salad by adding finely chopped vegetables like green onions, bell peppers, or even grated carrots for added texture and flavor.

Is this recipe suitable for meal prep?

Yes! You can prepare the egg salad mixture ahead of time and store it in the fridge. Just prepare the sandwiches fresh on the day you plan to eat them to ensure the bread stays crispy.

Can I make Tamago Sando without mustard seeds?

Of course! If you're not a fan of mustard seeds, you can still enjoy the sandwich without them. You can also try adding a dash of mustard or different spices to suit your taste.
