Description:

A Jalapeño Egg Salad Melt brings together creamy egg salad, a touch of heat, and a perfectly gooey, broiled finish. Chopped hard‑boiled eggs and jalapeño eggs are mixed with mayo, relish, mozzarella, and fresh chives for a rich, flavorful base. The mixture is piled onto toasted sourdough, topped with juicy tomato slices and pepper jack cheese, then broiled until bubbly and golden. It’s a warm, satisfying open‑faced sandwich that delivers comfort with a spicy twist, ideal for an easy lunch or a crowd‑pleasing brunch.
