Crispy Egg Salad

5 from 7 reviews

A deliciously crispy twist on classic egg salad featuring pan-fried egg mixture with melted mozzarella, sriracha, and chives served on toasted bread with creamy avocado and jalapeño slices for a spicy kick.

Ingredients

Scale

Egg Salad

  • 6 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise (kewpie mayonnaise optional)
  • 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
  • ½ avocado, sliced or mashed
  • Jalapeño slices, to taste
  • Olive or avocado oil cooking spray, for pan frying

Instructions

  1. Mix the Egg Salad: In a bowl, combine the chopped hard-boiled eggs with mayonnaise, sriracha, chopped chives, shredded mozzarella cheese, kosher salt, and freshly cracked black pepper. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is well incorporated.
  2. Pan Fry the Egg Salad: Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and lightly spray it with olive or avocado oil cooking spray. Scoop a dollop (~1/4 cup) of the egg mixture onto the hot pan, shaping it into a patty. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the bottom is golden and crispy, then carefully flip and sear the other side for another 1 minute. Avoid frying too long to prevent excessive melting of the cheese which makes flipping difficult.
  3. Assemble the Sandwich: Toast your slice of bread to your liking. Spread a layer of mashed or sliced avocado on top of the toast. Place the crispy egg salad patty on the avocado layer, then add jalapeño slices for a spicy finish. Serve immediately while warm for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Use kewpie mayonnaise for a richer, tangier flavor.
  • Adjust sriracha quantity to control the spiciness of the egg salad.
  • Be gentle when flipping the egg salad patty to keep it from breaking.
  • Serve immediately after assembling to enjoy the crisp texture.
  • Can be served on your favorite bread or as a lettuce wrap for a low-carb option.
