Equipment

  • Non-stick Skillet

Ingredients

For the Egg Cakes

  • 6 pieces Hard-Boiled Eggs finely chopped
  • 1 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese can substitute with cheddar
  • 1/2 cup Kewpie Mayonnaise regular mayonnaise works too
  • 2 tablespoons Sriracha adjust to taste
  • 1/4 cup Chives chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt kosher or sea salt preferred
  • 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper freshly cracked for best flavor

For Serving

  • 1 medium Avocado sliced
  • 1/2 cup Jalapeño Slices for garnish

Instructions

Cooking Instructions

  • Begin by chopping six hard-boiled eggs and placing them in a mixing bowl. Add the shredded mozzarella cheese, kewpie mayonnaise, sriracha, chopped chives, salt, and black pepper. Stir until everything is well combined and creamy.
  • Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly spray the skillet with olive oil to prevent sticking and ensure a golden crust.
  • Using a spoon, scoop about 1/4 cup of the egg mixture into the skillet for each cake. Pan fry for 1-2 minutes until they're golden brown, then carefully flip and cook for another minute until crispy.
  • Toast your favorite slice of bread until it’s lightly browned. Spread a layer of sliced avocado on top, then add your crispy egg salad cakes. Finish with jalapeño slices for an extra burst of flavor, and serve immediately.

Notes

Top with a sprinkle of fresh chives for added color and freshness. Use fresh, high-quality eggs for best flavor and texture.
