  In T2K $\nu_{\mu} \rightarrow \nu_{e}$ oscillation analyses, electron
neutrinos are the signal at the far detector. For the beam peak energy, $\sim
0.6 \,$GeV, charged current quasi-elastic (CCQE) neutrino interactions
dominate. Here we use the T2K near detector to measure electron neutrino
CCQE-like interactions, which are defined by having no pions exit the nucleus:
$\nu_e \,$CC$\,0\pi$. The selection, backgrounds and steps towards a cross
section measurement on carbon are presented.
