Instructions

Place 2 cups of water into a medium pot and set it over medium-high heat. 
 

Prepare pot with water

Add the vinegar and let it come to a roiling boil. Carefully add each egg to the boiling water. Cook them for 10 minutes.  
 

Adding the eggs and vinegar

Place the remaining water and ice into a large bowl. Place the eggs into the ice water and let them sit for 10 minutes. Drain the eggs in a colander. 
 

Cooling the eggs in ice water

Peel the eggs, then place them onto a cutting board. Cut the eggs in half by using a chef's knife. Scoop the egg yolks into a large bowl. Roughly chop the egg white then and set them aside. 
 

Separating the egg yolk from the egg white

Add the Japanese mayo and almond milk to the egg yolks and whisk until smooth. 
 

Adding mayo and milk to the egg yolk

Add the egg whites, shallots, red bell peppers, salt, and pepper, and mix until combined. 
 

Prepare the egg whites, bell pepper, salt and black pepper

Smear each slice of milk bread with 1/2 tablespoon of butter. Divide the egg salad between 2 slices of bread, placing it on the buttered side. 
 

Prepare the bread for the sandwich

Place the remaining slices of milk bread on top of the egg salad, butter side down. Cut each egg salad sandwich in half, place them onto a serving platter, and sprinkle the parsley over them.
