About this dish
Sweetened condensed milk mixed half and half with mayonnaise gives this Taiwanese sandwich its sweet-salty spread.

Crustless white bread is stacked with thin egg sheets, ham, and cheddar so that each cut face shows neat yellow layers. Trimming the crusts is about texture more than looks, since the whole sandwich then gives softly when bitten.
Ingredients
Instructions
- 1
Divide the 12 slices of white bread into 3 sets of 4 slices.
For a softer sandwich, trim the crusts before assembling, then whisk the 3 eggs thoroughly until no visible streaks of white remain.
- 2
Warm a pan over medium-low heat and melt a thin layer of butter.
Pour in the egg in small portions, spread it thinly, and flip when the surface is mostly set, cooking only 10 seconds more.
- 3
Cut the egg sheets to match the bread size and let them cool briefly.
If they go onto the bread while hot, the bread can turn damp, so spread them on a plate to release steam.
- 4
Mix 4 tablespoons condensed milk with 4 tablespoons mayonnaise until smooth.
Spread a thin layer on the inner faces of the bread, but avoid a thick coating at the edges so the layers do not slide.
- 5
For each set, stack bread, egg sheet, bread, ham and cheddar cheese, bread, egg sheet, then bread.
Press lightly with your palm to even the height without squeezing out the sauce.
- 6
Wrap each finished sandwich in plastic wrap and rest it for about 5 minutes.
Once the layers hold together, keep the knife upright, trim the sides neatly, and cut each sandwich diagonally into 2 pieces.
