Ingredients

  • 6 large hard -boiled eggs, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup low -moisture shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tablespoons Kewpie mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chives, finely minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
  • High -heat olive oil spray for pan-searing

Instructions

  • Place finely chopped hard-boiled eggs into a medium-sized stainless steel mixing bowl.
  • Add the shredded mozzarella, mayonnaise, sriracha, and minced chives to the eggs.
  • Season the mixture with salt and black pepper; fold gently with a spatula until the binder is evenly distributed and the mixture holds together when pressed.
  • Preheat a heavy-bottomed non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until a drop of water sizzles immediately.
  • Apply a light coating of olive oil spray to the skillet surface.
  • Using a 1/4 cup measuring scoop, portion the egg salad mixture into the skillet, leaving 2 inches between each portion.
  • Flatten each portion slightly with a metal spatula into a disc approximately 1/2-inch thick.
  • Sear undisturbed for 2 minutes or until the cheese melts and forms a deep golden-brown crust.
  • Carefully flip each patty using a thin-edged spatula and sear the reverse side for an additional 60-90 seconds.
  • Transfer the crispy egg salad patties immediately to toasted sourdough or avocado-spread crackers and serve warm.
