Step-by-Step Instructions for Crispy Egg Salad
  1. Start by chopping 6 hard-boiled eggs and place them in a mixing bowl. Add in mayonnaise, sriracha, and shredded low-moisture mozzarella cheese, stirring until combined. Fold in fresh chives and season with kosher salt and black pepper.
  2. Spray a nonstick skillet generously with olive oil cooking spray and place it over medium-high heat for about 3 minutes until shimmering.
  3. Using a scoop or measuring cup, take about ½ cup of the egg mixture and form it into a patty shape. Place in the hot skillet, avoiding overcrowding.
  4. Fry the patties for 1-2 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Carefully flip each patty and cook for an additional minute until the other side is also crispy.
  5. Repeat forming and frying the remaining egg mixture, spraying the skillet with olive oil as needed.
  6. Serve the fried patties warm on toasted bread with toppings like avocado and jalapeños.

Notes

Fry patties just until golden to maintain a crispy exterior and avoid overcooking. Store leftover mixture in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days.
