At its core, the Grated Egg Toast with Chili Crunch is a modern open-faced sandwich that prioritizes texture above all else. By taking a fully cooked, chilled hard-boiled egg and passing it through a microplane or a fine grater, you break down the proteins into tiny, fluffy ribbons. This method ensures that every bite is incredibly soft, allowing the egg to melt into the bread rather than sitting on top of it as a solid mass.
