I have been wanting to make this for quite a while now. Today I finally have the chance to do so. So what's better than a Japanese egg salad sandwich? A guacamole sandwich! Or toast. Anyway, this is not authentic guacamole. I did, however, add a few extra elements of my own.
My not so authentic guacamole...
How to get perfectly boiled eggs every single time? By cooking the eggs in shallow simmering water, cover and cook for exactly 8 mins. The yolks not only are perfectly cooked, but the shells are also super easy to peel too. This is not a magic trick. Just simple calculations of math and science. Don't believe it? Give it a shot.
As I'd said earlier, I added a few extra elements. One of which is my homemade turkey bacon jam. It does give the guacamole an extra oomph. In closing, I really hope you will give this recipe a try.
