It also includes shredded cabbage, minced onions, and a soft-boiled egg. The pièce de résistance of this sandwich is the Golden Cheese Sauce - a rich, creamy blend of Parmesan, cheddar, and powdered egg yolk, subtly spiced with black pepper.\n\nWhile the tsukimi focaccia sandwich is a delight on its own, Mos Burger offers a version without the soft-boiled egg for those who prefer just the indulgent sauce.
