A delicious twist on classic egg salad featuring crispy fried eggs mixed with creamy dressing and fresh herbs. This recipe combines rich textures and flavors, making it perfect as a sandwich filling, on toast, or served as a flavorful side dish.

  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings

Ingredients

Eggs

  • 4 eggs
  • 2 tbsp oil

Dressing

  • 3 tbsp mayonnaise or yogurt
  • 1 tsp mustard
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Fresh Herbs

  • 1 tbsp green onion, chopped

Instructions

  1. Fry the Eggs: Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a pan over medium heat. Carefully crack the eggs into the pan and fry them until the edges become crispy and golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side, depending on your preferred crispiness.
  2. Cool and Chop: Remove the fried eggs from the pan and let them cool slightly on a plate. Once cooled, chop the eggs into bite-sized pieces, including both the whites and yolks for texture.
  3. Prepare the Dressing: In a mixing bowl, combine 3 tablespoons of mayonnaise or yogurt with 1 teaspoon of mustard. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Stir until smooth and creamy.
  4. Combine Ingredients: Add the chopped eggs and 1 tablespoon of chopped green onions into the bowl with the dressing. Gently mix everything together to evenly coat the egg pieces while preserving their texture.
  5. Serve: Serve the crispy egg salad on toasted bread, in sandwiches, or as a tasty side dish alongside your favorite meals.

Notes

  • Add chili flakes for a spicy kick if desired.
  • Use Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise for a lighter, tangier version.
