Crispy Egg Salad is a flavorful twist on the classic egg salad, featuring golden pan-fried hard-boiled eggs for added texture. It’s creamy, crispy, and perfect for sandwiches, wraps, or salads.

Ingredients

  • 6 hard-boiled eggs
  • 1 tbsp olive oil or butter (for crisping)
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 2 tbsp finely chopped red or green onion
  • 2 tbsp finely chopped celery (optional)
  • 1 tbsp fresh herbs (like dill, chives, or parsley)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: paprika or chili flakes, to taste

Instructions

  1. Slice the hard-boiled eggs into quarters or thick chunks.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil or butter.
  3. Place eggs cut-side down in the skillet and sear for 2–3 minutes until golden and crispy on the edges. Let cool slightly.
  4. In a mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, onion, celery (if using), herbs, salt, and pepper.
  5. Gently fold in the crispy eggs, breaking them up slightly while maintaining texture.
  6. Chill for a few minutes before serving, or enjoy immediately on toast, in a sandwich, or by itself.

Notes

  • For a creamier version, mash in avocado or use Greek yogurt.
  • Add pickles or capers for a tangy flavor boost.
  • Serve on toasted sourdough, pita, or in lettuce cups for added texture.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days; do not reheat.
