This Crispy Egg Salad recipe transforms the classic creamy egg salad by pan-frying it into crispy, cheesy patties. Combining chopped hard-boiled eggs with mozzarella, mayonnaise, and a hint of sriracha, then pan-frying until golden and crispy, creates a deliciously warm and satisfying sandwich topping. Perfect served on toasted bread with avocado and jalapeños for an elevated brunch or lunch option.

  • Total Time: 23 minutes
  • Yield: 5 servings

Ingredients

Egg Salad Mixture

  • 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 season
  • Freshly cracked black pepper, a few turns

For Cooking

  • Olive oil or avocado oil cooking spray

To Serve

  • 1 slice toasted bread
  • Sliced or mashed avocado
  • Few slices of jalapeño

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Egg Salad: Chop six hard-boiled eggs into a bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise, ½ tablespoon of sriracha, 2 teaspoons of chopped chives, and ½ cup of shredded mozzarella cheese. Season the mixture with kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper. Mix all ingredients thoroughly until well combined.
  2. Heat the Skillet: Place a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and lightly spray it with olive or avocado oil cooking spray to prevent sticking and promote crisping.
  3. Cook the Egg Patties: Scoop about a ¼ cup dollop of the egg mixture and place it onto the hot skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the bottom is golden and crispy. Carefully flip the patty and cook for another 1 minute on the other side. Be cautious not to overcook, as too much heat will overly melt the cheese and make transferring difficult.
  4. Prepare the Toast: While the patties cook, toast a slice of bread until golden brown. Spread a layer of sliced or mashed avocado evenly on the toast.
  5. Assemble the Sandwich: Place the warm crispy egg salad patty on top of the avocado toast. Add a few slices of jalapeño for a spicy kick. Serve immediately to enjoy the contrast of crispy exterior and creamy interior.

Notes

  • Use fresh eggs for best flavor and texture.
  • Kewpie mayonnaise adds a richer umami flavor but regular mayonnaise works well too.
  • Adjust the amount of sriracha to control the spice level.
  • Use a nonstick skillet and cooking spray to prevent sticking and ensure easy flipping.
  • Serve immediately as the patties are best enjoyed warm and crispy.
