This Crispy Egg Salad recipe transforms classic egg salad into a delightful crispy treat by pan-frying a seasoned mixture of eggs, cheese, and sriracha. Served warm atop toasted bread with creamy avocado and spicy jalapeño slices, it’s a perfect balance of flavors and textures for a satisfying meal.

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 taste
  • Freshly cracked black pepper, a few turns

For Assembly

  • 1 slice bread, toasted
  • 1/2 avocado, sliced or mashed
  • Few slices jalapeño
  • Olive or avocado oil cooking spray

Instructions

  1. Mix the Egg Salad: In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped hard-boiled eggs with mayonnaise, sriracha, finely chopped chives, shredded mozzarella cheese, kosher salt, and freshly cracked black pepper. Stir thoroughly to distribute all the ingredients evenly.
  2. Pan Fry the Egg Salad: Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and lightly spray with olive or avocado oil cooking spray. Spoon about 1/4 cup of the egg mixture onto the hot pan, shaping it slightly. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the bottom is golden and crispy, then carefully flip and sear the other side for about 1 minute. Be careful not to overcook, as too much melting cheese can make flipping difficult.
  3. Assemble: Toast a slice of your favorite bread. Spread a layer of mashed or sliced avocado on the toast. Top with the warm, crispy egg salad patty and garnish with fresh jalapeño slices. Serve immediately while warm and enjoy the crisp, creamy combination.

Notes

  • For extra creaminess, use kewpie mayonnaise instead of regular mayo.
  • Be gentle when flipping the patties to avoid breaking them apart.
  • Adjust sriracha quantity to control the spice level.
  • This dish pairs well with fresh greens or a light salad.
  • Use fresh jalapeño slices to add a spicy kick or substitute with mild peppers if preferred.
