Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped hard-boiled eggs, shredded mozzarella cheese, Kewpie mayonnaise, sriracha, minced chives, salt, and cracked black pepper. Gently fold together until well combined.
  2. Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat for about 2-3 minutes. Lightly spray with olive oil cooking spray.

Notes

For the best texture, chill the egg salad mixture for about 20 minutes before frying. Fry only a few cakes at a time to avoid steaming them.
