Crispy Egg Salad is a delicious twist on the classic egg salad, where chopped hard-boiled eggs are mixed with creamy mayonnaise, spicy sriracha, fresh chives, and shredded mozzarella cheese, then pan-fried to create a crispy, golden crust. Served on toasted bread with mashed avocado and jalapeño slices, this recipe offers a perfect blend of creamy, spicy, and crunchy textures ideal for a quick breakfast or light lunch.

Ingredients

Scale

Egg Salad

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

To Serve

  • 1 slice of bread, toasted
  • Mashed or sliced avocado, as needed
  • Few slices of jalapeño, for topping
  • Olive or avocado oil cooking spray, for pan frying

Instructions

  1. Mix the Egg Salad: In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped hard-boiled eggs with mayonnaise, sriracha, chopped chives, shredded mozzarella cheese, kosher salt, and cracked black pepper. Stir thoroughly until all the 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. Scoop about ¼ cup of the egg salad mixture and place it onto the hot skillet. Pan-fry for 1-2 minutes until the bottom is golden and crispy. Carefully flip and sear the other side for an additional minute. Avoid frying for too long to prevent the cheese from becoming overly melted and difficult to handle.
  3. Assemble: Toast a slice of bread and spread a layer of mashed or sliced avocado on top. Place the crispy fried egg salad on the avocado layer. Add a few jalapeño slices for a spicy kick. Serve immediately while warm to enjoy the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Use Kewpie mayonnaise for a creamier and richer flavor, but regular mayonnaise works just fine.
  • Adjust sriracha quantity based on your preferred spice level.
  • Be gentle when flipping the fried egg salad to maintain its shape.
  • Serve immediately after frying to enjoy the crispy texture; leftovers may lose their crispiness.
  • For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free bread or serve the egg salad on a bed of greens.
