I’ve seen numerous videos of Korean Overnight Egg Sandwich on TikTok since last week. And because I love anything egg sandwich, I also tried it.

The viral Korean Overnight Egg Sandwich recipe was inspired by Mayak Eggs or Korean Marinated Eggs. Mayak eggs is one of Korea’s best side dishes. The eggs are usually soft-boiled, and it is delicious with warm rice.

In the sandwich version, hard-boiled eggs should be used. The steps in making the sandwich spread are similar to Mayak Eggs with extra effort. At first, I thought the combination of the ingredients is weird for a sandwich. Surprisingly, it came out wonderful.

The sandwich spread is sweet, savory, and extremely delicious! The garlic flavor is just enough, not too garlicky. It is creamy, and I love that there’s still texture from the chopped eggs.

If you are an egg salad and Korean food lover, you should give this a try. One thing for sure, I’d be making this over and over again!

NOTES ON KOREAN OVERNIGHT EGG SANDWICH:

I used seven XL eggs – I saved one, then chopped up six for the spread.
You can start with 3/4 cup of mayo then add if necessary. Make sure to do a taste test and adjust as per your liking.
The spread will last for one week or more if stored properly.
