Step 1

Pull the eggs out of the fridge to warm up while you do some prep, so they’re less likely to crack while boiling. Fill a medium saucepan three-fourths full with water and bring it to a boil.

Step 2

While the water comes to a boil, in a small bowl, stir together the scallions, sesame seeds, vinegar, soy sauce and sugar with a pinch of salt and pepper. Use the back of a spoon to smash the scallions against the side of the bowl a bit to get them to break down. Set aside.

Step 3

In another small bowl, stir together the aioli and mustard. Season with salt.

Step 4

Fill a medium bowl with ice and add enough water so that the eggs will be submerged. Have your timer ready. Turn down the heat and bring the boiling water to a gentle simmer, then use a slotted spoon to carefully lower the eggs into the water. Boil for 8 minutes on the dot. Use the slotted spoon to transfer the eggs to the ice-water bath and let them sit for a minute or so. Then, one by one, whack each egg all over with the spoon and return it to the ice water. Cracking the shells and letting the eggs get one more stint in the ice bath helps loosen the shells from the egg whites, making them easy to peel. Peel the eggs, then slice them crosswise into thick rounds.

Step 5

Slather the mustardy mayonnaise on all four slices of bread, then top two of the slices with the eggs. Spoon the scallion sauce over the eggs, then top with the remaining bread. Slice — or don’t! — the sandwiches however you like, and serve right away.
