Fluffy Grated Egg Grilled Cheese Sandwich Ingredients
Chosen Foods Classic Mayo made with 100% Pure Avocado Oil: This mayo not only adds a creamy texture to the egg salad but also keeps it light with healthier fats from pure avocado oil. It’s perfect for this recipe, ensuring that the egg salad remains rich without being too heavy.
Chosen Foods 100% Pure Avocado Oil: Ideal for toasting the sandwich, this oil has a high smoke point of 500°, making it great for pan-frying the bread to golden perfection. It also doesn’t overpower the flavors of the sandwich, keeping everything balanced.
Mustard: A pantry staple that adds a tangy, slightly sharp flavor to balance the creaminess of the egg salad. You can use Dijon mustard for a more refined, mild heat, or yellow mustard if you prefer a classic, slightly milder flavor.
Test Kitchen Notes
Grate the eggs for fluffiness: Instead of chopping, grating the hard-boiled eggs ensures an ultra-fluffy texture that perfectly blends with the Chosen Foods Classic Mayo, creating a smooth and creamy egg salad.
Toast to perfection: Toast the sandwich in a combination of Chosen Foods 100% Pure Avocado Oil and butter for the ultimate crispy crust. The avocado oil's high smoke point ensures even browning without burning the bread.
Don’t overcook the eggs: Cook the eggs for exactly 12 minutes to ensure the yolks are fully cooked but not chalky. Immediately transferring them to an ice bath will also stop the cooking process and make peeling easier.
Cheese variations: For an extra twist, you can swap the mozzarella for sharp cheddar or gouda, which will provide a more intense flavor to complement the creamy egg salad.
FAQs
Can I make the egg salad in advance?
Yes! You can prepare the egg salad mixture up to 2 days in advance. Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator until you’re ready to assemble the sandwich.
What bread works best for this sandwich?
A sturdy white or sourdough bread works great. You want something that will hold up to the cheese and egg salad without getting too soggy.
How can I make this recipe gluten-free?
Simply swap the regular bread for your favorite gluten-free bread. Be sure to toast it well to achieve the same crispy texture.
Can I add other ingredients to the egg salad?
Absolutely! You can mix in finely chopped celery, pickles, or even bacon for extra flavor and crunch.
