  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese You can substitute with cheddar or feta for different taste.
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise Option to use kewpie mayonnaise.

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped hard-boiled eggs, shredded mozzarella cheese, mayonnaise, sriracha, and chives. Season with kosher salt and black pepper to taste. Stir everything together until well blended.

Cooking

  • Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add a little oil or butter to the pan. Once hot, spoon the egg salad mixture into the skillet. Flatten it slightly with a spatula and let it cook for 3-4 minutes until the bottom is golden and crispy. Flip and cook the other side for another 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat.

Serving

  • Serve the crispy egg salad on toasted bread, in a wrap, or as a topping for greens. You can also enjoy it on its own!

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days. It’s best to eat it sooner rather than later for the best texture and flavor. Avoid freezing as it may change the consistency.
