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 chives, finely chopped
- Kosher salt, to taste
- Black pepper, cracked, a few turns
Assembly
- 1 slice of bread, toasted
- 1 avocado, sliced or mashed
- Jalapeño slices, as desired
- Olive or avocado oil cooking spray, for pan
Instructions
- Mix the Egg Salad: Chop six hard-boiled eggs and place them in a mixing bowl. Add mayonnaise, sriracha, chopped chives, shredded mozzarella cheese, kosher salt, and cracked black pepper. Stir the ingredients together thoroughly until well combined.
- Pan Fry the Egg Salad: Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and lightly spray it with olive or avocado oil cooking spray. Spoon about 1/4 cup of the egg mixture onto the skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the bottom is golden and crispy. Carefully flip and sear the other side for 1 minute. Avoid overcooking, as this will overly melt the cheese and make it difficult to handle.
- Assemble: Toast a slice of bread to your liking. Spread a layer of sliced or mashed avocado on top. Place the crispy egg salad on the avocado, then add a few slices of jalapeño for a spicy kick. Serve warm immediately for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- Use fresh chives for the best flavor.
- Kewpie mayonnaise can add a richer, slightly sweeter flavor if preferred.
- Be careful not to overcook the egg salad patties to prevent them from becoming too hard.
- Serve immediately after assembly to enjoy the crispy texture.
- Adjust sriracha amount to your preferred spice level.
