Ingredients
Scale
Egg Salad Mixture
- 6 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise (kewpie mayonnaise optional)
- ½ tablespoon sriracha
- 2 teaspoons chives, finely chopped
- Kosher salt, to taste
- Cracked black pepper, a few turns
To Assemble
- 1 slice of bread, toasted
- Mashed or sliced avocado
- Few slices of jalapeño (optional)
- Olive or avocado oil cooking spray
Instructions
- Mix the Egg Salad: In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped hard-boiled eggs with mayonnaise, sriracha, chopped chives, shredded mozzarella cheese, kosher salt, and cracked black pepper. Stir everything well until fully incorporated.
- Pan Fry the Egg Salad: Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and lightly spray it with olive or avocado oil cooking spray. Using a spoon, add about 1/4 cup dollop of the egg mixture onto the hot skillet. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the bottom is golden and crispy, then carefully flip and cook for another minute on the other side. Be careful not to overcook to prevent the cheese from melting excessively and to keep the patty intact.
- Assemble: Toast a slice of bread and spread a layer of sliced or mashed avocado on top. Place the crispy egg salad patty over the avocado. Add a few slices of jalapeño for some heat if desired. Serve immediately while warm for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- Ensure eggs are fully cooled before chopping to maintain texture.
- You can substitute mozzarella with cheddar or your favorite melting cheese.
- Sriracha amount can be adjusted to your preferred spice level.
- Use oil spray lightly to avoid greasiness but ensure crispiness.
- Best enjoyed immediately to preserve crisp texture of pan-fried egg salad.
