A delicious and spicy Crispy Egg Salad recipe featuring chopped hard-boiled eggs mixed with mayonnaise, sriracha, chives, and shredded mozzarella cheese. The mixture is formed into small cakes and pan-seared to golden, crispy perfection, making for a flavorful and satisfying dish perfect for a quick meal or snack.

Ingredients

Egg Salad Mixture

  • 6 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise (option to use Kewpie mayonnaise)
  • ½ tablespoon sriracha
  • 2 teaspoons chives, chopped small
  • Kosher salt, to season
  • Black pepper, few turns of cracked black pepper

For Cooking

  • Olive or avocado oil cooking spray
  • Bread slices, for serving
  • Sliced or mashed avocado, for serving
  • Jalapeño slices, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Mix the Egg Salad: Chop six hard-boiled eggs and add them to a bowl. Combine the eggs with mayonnaise, sriracha, chopped chives, shredded mozzarella cheese, kosher salt, and cracked black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly 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. Add a dollop (about 1/4 cup) of the egg mixture onto the hot pan and gently flatten it into a cake shape. Pan fry for 1-2 minutes until the bottom is golden and crispy, then carefully flip and sear for an additional minute on the other side. Avoid overcooking to prevent the cheese from melting too much, which could make flipping difficult.
  3. Assemble: Toast a slice of bread and spread a layer of sliced or mashed avocado on top. Place the crispy egg salad cake on the avocado layer, then add a few slices of jalapeño for extra heat if desired. Serve warm and enjoy immediately for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Use fresh eggs for best flavor and texture.
  • Adjust the amount of sriracha to suit your preferred spice level.
  • Use a nonstick skillet to ensure the egg cakes don’t stick and break apart.
  • The crispy egg cakes are best enjoyed immediately to maintain their texture.
  • For a dairy-free option, omit the mozzarella cheese or substitute with a suitable alternative.
