Ingredients

Units Scale

Egg Salad Mixture

  • 6 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise (option to use Kewpie mayonnaise)
  • 1/2 tablespoon sriracha
  • 2 teaspoons chopped chives
  • Kosher salt, to season
  • Black pepper, a few turns of cracked black pepper

For Serving

  • Slices of bread, toasted
  • Avocado, sliced or mashed
  • Jalapeño slices
  • Olive or avocado oil cooking spray

Instructions

  1. Mix the Egg Salad: Chop six hard-boiled eggs and place them in a bowl. Add mayonnaise, sriracha, chopped chives, shredded mozzarella cheese, kosher salt, and cracked black pepper. Mix all ingredients thoroughly until well combined.
  2. Pan Fry the Egg Salad: Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and lightly spray with olive or avocado oil cooking spray. Place a dollop (about 1/4 cup) of the egg mixture onto the hot pan. Pan fry for 1 to 2 minutes until the bottom is golden and crispy, then carefully flip and sear the other side for 1 additional minute. Avoid frying too long to prevent the cheese from melting excessively and making it difficult to flip.
  3. Assemble: Toast a slice of bread and add a layer of sliced or mashed avocado. Top with the crispy egg salad and garnish with a few slices of jalapeño. Serve warm immediately for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Use Kewpie mayonnaise for a richer, creamier flavor if desired.
  • Do not overcook the egg salad patties to maintain a crispy exterior without making them too hard.
  • Serve immediately to enjoy the crispiness; leftover patties may soften over time.
  • Adjust the amount of sriracha based on your preferred spice level.
  • For a gluten-free option, substitute the bread with gluten-free toast or a lettuce wrap.
