Ingredients
Scale
Egg Salad
- 6 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise (option to use kewpie mayonnaise)
- ½ tablespoon sriracha
- 2 teaspoons chopped chives
- Kosher salt, to taste
- Freshly cracked black pepper, a few turns
To Serve
- 1 slice of bread, toasted
- Sliced or mashed avocado
- Few slices of jalapeño
- Olive or avocado oil cooking spray
Instructions
- Mix the Egg Salad: Chop six hard-boiled eggs and place them in a mixing bowl. Add 2 tablespoons mayonnaise, ½ tablespoon sriracha, 2 teaspoons chopped chives, ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese, kosher salt, and freshly cracked black pepper. Stir thoroughly to combine all ingredients evenly into a creamy, flavorful mixture.
- Pan Fry the Egg Salad: Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly spray the pan with olive or avocado oil cooking spray to prevent sticking. Spoon about a ¼ cup dollop of the egg salad mixture onto the hot pan. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the bottom is golden and crispy, then carefully flip to sear the other side for an additional minute. Avoid overcooking to keep the cheese from melting too much and maintain an easy transfer from the pan.
- Assemble: Toast a slice of bread to your preference. Spread a layer of sliced or mashed avocado on top of the toast. Place the crispy pan-fried egg salad on the avocado layer. Garnish with a few slices of jalapeño for a spicy kick. Serve immediately while warm for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Use kewpie mayonnaise for a richer and creamier flavor, but regular mayonnaise works well too.
- Adjust the amount of sriracha based on your preferred spice level.
- Be careful not to overcook the egg salad patties to keep them from becoming too hard and difficult to flip.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the crispy texture of the pan-fried egg salad.
- You can substitute mozzarella cheese with mild cheddar or Monterey Jack if desired.
