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 season
- Black pepper, few turns of cracked black pepper
For Assembly
- 1 slice of bread, toasted
- Sliced or mashed avocado
- Slices of jalapeño
- Olive or avocado oil cooking spray
Instructions
- Mix the Egg Salad: Chop the six hard-boiled eggs and place them in a bowl. Add mayonnaise, sriracha, finely chopped chives, shredded mozzarella cheese, kosher salt, and cracked black pepper. Mix all ingredients thoroughly until well combined.
- Pan Fry the Egg Salad: Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and lightly spray with olive or avocado oil cooking spray. Scoop about ¼ cup of the egg mixture and place it into the hot skillet, forming a small patty. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the bottom is crispy and golden, then carefully flip and sear for an additional 1 minute on the other side. Avoid cooking too long to prevent the cheese from melting excessively and making flipping difficult.
- Assemble the Sandwich: Toast a slice of bread to your liking. Spread a layer of sliced or mashed avocado on the toast, then place the crispy egg salad patty on top. Add a few jalapeño slices for a spicy kick. Serve warm for the best experience and enjoy immediately.
Notes
- Use kewpie mayonnaise for a richer, creamier flavor if desired.
- Adjust sriracha quantity according to preferred spiciness.
- Ensure eggs are chopped finely for easier shaping and frying.
- Serve immediately after frying for optimal crispiness and flavor.
- Can be served open-faced or as a sandwich by adding a second slice of bread.
