- Butter
- 4 medium to hard boiled eggs, peeled
- 5 tablespoons kewpie mayo – if you cannot find kewpie mayo you can make it from scratch using this recipe
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (use a little less for table salt, since the grains are smaller)

Instructions
- Put the hard boiled eggs in a bowl and mash with a fork.
